Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ▔ has the Unicode code point U+2594. 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+2594 to binary:
00100101 10010100. 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 10010100

Description
The Unicode character U+2594, known as the UPPER ONE EIGHTH BLOCK, is a typographic symbol used primarily in digital text to denote a vertical division or segmentation of content. It is part of a larger set of block elements (U+2502 through U+2551) which include both horizontal and vertical blocks. These characters are often utilized in creating diagrams, flowcharts, or other visual representations of information in digital formats. While the UPPER ONE EIGHTH BLOCK does not have any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context, it serves as a useful tool for designers, developers, and content creators to clearly delineate sections within their work. By including this character, users can improve the overall readability and organization of their textual content in various digital mediums.
