Description

The Unicode character U+2AED, known as the Reversed Double Stroke Not Sign (⸗), is an obscure typographical symbol with limited usage in digital text. It serves primarily as a logical operator within computer programming and mathematics, representing a negation or reverse operation. This symbol is reversed compared to the standard double stroke not sign (⊥), which makes it distinct in its role as a visual indicator of a different logical function. Though rarely seen outside of these specific contexts, the Reversed Double Stroke Not Sign has significance in technical and mathematical applications, contributing to precise and clear expression of algorithms and equations.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10989 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+2AED. 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+2AED to binary: 00101010 11101101. 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 10101011 10101101
