Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ╣ has the Unicode code point U+2563. 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+2563 to binary:
00100101 01100011. 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 10100011

Description
The Unicode character U+2563, known as the BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE VERTICAL AND LEFT, is a typographical symbol used in digital text to create diagrams and layout elements. It serves as a building block for creating various box-like structures, such as borders, frames, or tables. In its typical usage, this character appears vertically on the left side of a sequence of horizontal line symbols (U+2500 through U+252F), helping to define and structure content within digital media. While it doesn't have any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical context, it remains an important tool for designers, developers, and users who wish to create organized and visually appealing digital content. The BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE VERTICAL AND LEFT is part of the Box Drawing block in Unicode, which includes other related characters used for similar purposes, such as U+2562 (BOX DRAWINGS VERTICAL AND LEFT), U+2550 (BOX DRAWINGS DOWN-AND-LEFT), and U+2551 (BOX DRAWINGS UP-AND-LEFT).
