Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ▛ has the Unicode code point U+259B. 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+259B to binary:
00100101 10011011. 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 10011011

Description
U+259B is a typographical character known as the Quadrant Upper Left And Upper Right And Lower Left. This Unicode character serves a specific purpose in digital text, primarily used to create quadrants or sections in graphics and diagrams for visual organization. In its typical usage, it is employed alongside other quadrant characters (U+259C Quadrant Upper Left And Upper Right And Lower Right, U+259D Quadrant Lower Left And Lower Right) to divide a space into four sections, with each section representing a different aspect or division of the subject matter. This character is not associated with any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context outside of its usage in graphical organization and visual presentation. Its utilization allows for improved clarity and comprehension in documents that require the display of complex data or information, making it an essential tool for designers, educators, and professionals across various industries.
