Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ╚ has the Unicode code point U+255A. 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+255A to binary:
00100101 01011010. 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 10011010

Description
The character U+255A, also known as BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE UP AND RIGHT, is a part of the Unicode Standard, which provides a consistent way of representing characters from different languages in digital text. This specific symbol, or glyph, has a typical usage in programming and markup languages for creating various shapes such as boxes, lines, and borders. It plays a significant role in demarcating sections and providing visual separations in code or text documents. The BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE UP AND RIGHT character is often used to create double vertical lines, typically seen in text-based interfaces and command-line applications, for indicating alignment of columns or demarcation of certain areas of the content. It has no notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context outside of its usage in digital media and programming.
