Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ╔ has the Unicode code point U+2554. 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+2554 to binary:
00100101 01010100. 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 10010101 10010100

Description
U+2554, also known as BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE DOWN AND RIGHT, is a typographical character that serves an important role in digital text. It is commonly used to create diagrams, flowcharts, or other visual representations within digital content, where a simple line is insufficient to convey the desired information. This character, along with other similar Box Drawing characters, contributes to the overall clarity and effectiveness of technical documents and code blocks. In certain programming languages and text editors, these characters can be used to create custom borders or design elements for better presentation of data. However, their usage may depend on the specific software being used, as different platforms may interpret them differently. Despite this, U+2554 remains an essential part of digital typography, offering designers and developers a versatile tool to enhance visual communication in various contexts.
