Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ▚ has the Unicode code point U+259A. 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+259A to binary:
00100101 10011010. 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 10010110 10011010

Description
The Unicode character U+259A, also known as the "Quadrant Upper Left and Lower Right" symbol, is a less commonly used typographical element in digital text. It serves a specific purpose in representing sections or quadrants of content within a larger document or design. While it may not have a direct role in linguistic communication like other characters, its usage can be seen in technical documentation, diagrams, and layout design where the division of space is necessary. The character does not hold any notable cultural significance but serves as a useful tool for organizing information in visual media. Its precise representation in Unicode ensures that it can be accurately displayed and used across various platforms and software, contributing to its function in digital text.
