Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ╩ has the Unicode code point U+2569. 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+2569 to binary:
00100101 01101001. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+2569, also known as BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE UP AND HORIZONTAL, is a typographical symbol that plays a significant role in digital text representation. This character, specifically designed for use within the 2500-2BE9 block of the Unicode Standard, represents a vertical line with double lines at the top and bottom, combined with a horizontal line connecting these vertical segments. In its typical usage, U+2569 is often employed in creating simple text-based graphics or diagrams such as borders, tables, or flowcharts within digital environments where more advanced graphical representation is not available or desired. The symbol's distinct visual appearance has no notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context beyond its utilitarian role in text formatting. Its accurate and precise rendering relies heavily on the font and text editor being used, ensuring clear communication of its intended purpose across various platforms and devices.
