Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⟫ has the Unicode code point U+27EB. 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+27EB to binary:
00100111 11101011
. 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 10101011

Description
The Unicode character U+27EB, known as the Mathematical Right Double Angle Bracket, plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in mathematical notation. It is used to represent an open interval, specifically a range of values that are less than or equal to a certain value. This symbol provides clarity and precision in equations and mathematical expressions, enabling readers to understand the scope and limitations of variables within a given context. While it may not have a direct cultural, linguistic, or technical context beyond its use in mathematics, the Mathematical Right Double Angle Bracket is an essential tool for mathematicians, scientists, and engineers who require accurate representation of intervals in their work.
