Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⟪ has the Unicode code point U+27EA. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thex
are the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+27EA to binary:
00100111 11101010
. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100010 10011111 10101010

Description
U+27EA, or the MATHEMATICAL LEFT DOUBLE ANGLE BRACKET, is a Unicode character primarily used in digital text for representing double angle brackets in mathematical expressions and equations. It serves as an important tool for denoting certain mathematical concepts, such as derivations or integrals, where it signifies the boundary between two sections of a formula. While this character may not have a direct cultural, linguistic, or technical context outside of its specific usage in mathematics, it remains a valuable and essential symbol in various mathematical and scientific disciplines for precise communication and representation of complex concepts.
