Description

The Unicode character U+2AEC, known as the DOUBLE STROKE NOT SIGN (⁜), primarily serves a role in mathematical expressions and formal language in digital text. It is used to negate compound expressions, where an entire mathematical expression or operation is negated together instead of individual terms or elements within the expression. This can be particularly useful in logic, set theory, and certain branches of mathematics for clearer representation and communication of complex ideas. Despite its relatively niche usage, this character plays a crucial role in maintaining accuracy and preventing misinterpretation in specialized digital text contexts where it is employed.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10988 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+2AEC. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+2AEC to binary: 00101010 11101100. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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:
