Description

The Unicode character U+2ABC, known as the DOUBLE SUCCEEDS (⇸), is a typographical symbol that holds significance in digital text. It is primarily utilized in programming languages, particularly in syntax highlighting and formatting, where it serves to visually distinguish double succession quantifiers from other symbols or operators. This character plays a crucial role in the representation of mathematical expressions and computational logic, enabling greater precision and readability in code. The DOUBLE SUCCEEDS symbol is typically represented as a combination of two arrows pointing in opposite directions, which visually signifies "two times" or "repeat twice" action in programming contexts. While not widely known outside the realm of computer science and technical writing, this character has a distinct purpose in its niche, contributing to the clarity and efficiency of digital text.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10940 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+2ABC. 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+2ABC to binary: 00101010 10111100. 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:
    11100010 10101010 10111100
