Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⟭ has the Unicode code point U+27ED. 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+27ED to binary:
00100111 11101101. 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 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+27ED, known as the Mathematical Right White Tortoise Shell Bracket, is a specialized mathematical symbol used in digital text for specific mathematical notations and expressions. This character plays an essential role in representing a variety of mathematical constructs that require the use of brackets or parentheses with unique properties. Unlike the typical left and right parentheses (U+0028 and U+0029), the Mathematical Right White Tortoise Shell Bracket is primarily used to denote the closing bracket in a series of mathematical expressions, particularly within mathematical notation software and applications that follow the TeX or LaTeX formatting conventions. The character's "tortoise shell" reference alludes to its distinctive appearance, which resembles an open tortoise shell design, providing a visually distinct delimiter from other brackets. This visual difference is essential in preventing errors and misinterpretations in complex mathematical expressions, particularly when dealing with right-to-left reading scripts or languages that use different bracket styles. In terms of cultural, linguistic, or technical context, the Mathematical Right White Tortoise Shell Bracket is most prominently used within mathematical and scientific communities, where precise notation and expression are critical for communication and understanding. As a specialized symbol, it is not widely used in everyday digital text, but its presence in specific applications and software demonstrates its significance within niche domains of expertise.
