Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⟦ has the Unicode code point U+27E6. 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+27E6 to binary:
00100111 11100110. 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 10100110

Description
U+27E6 is a Unicode character referred to as the Mathematical Left White Square Bracket. This character plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within mathematical notation and expressions. It is used to enclose or separate mathematical elements, such as variables, operations, and symbols, in order to facilitate better understanding of complex equations and functions. The use of this character can be traced back to the need for clear and precise representation of mathematical concepts in digital text, which became increasingly essential with the rise of computer-aided design and scientific research. While it may not hold a prominent position within everyday language or cultural contexts, the Mathematical Left White Square Bracket remains an indispensable tool in the world of mathematics, computer science, and other fields requiring precise text representation.
