Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⟮ has the Unicode code point U+27EE. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare 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+27EE to binary:
00100111 11101110. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+27EE is known as the "MATHEMATICAL LEFT FLATTENED PARENTHESIS". This symbol is used in mathematical notation to indicate a flattened left parenthesis in typesetting, specifically when using the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols (MAPS) unicode block. It has no cultural or linguistic significance and is purely used for typographical purposes in digital text. Its role lies within the realm of technical context, specifically in mathematical and scientific documentation where it helps to delineate expressions and formulae. It is often used alongside other symbols from the same unicode block to create complex mathematical expressions that require a high level of precision and clarity.
