Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ╠ has the Unicode code point U+2560. 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+2560 to binary:
00100101 01100000. 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 10100000

Description
U+2560 is a Unicode character, also known as BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE VERTICAL AND RIGHT. This character holds significant value in digital text and typography due to its unique functionality. Its primary role is to assist with the creation of graphical elements such as tables or diagrams within text-based environments. It forms part of a series of box-drawing characters, each serving different functions that enable users to create basic geometric shapes for various layout purposes. Despite not having a direct linguistic significance, U+2560 plays a crucial role in representing the intersection between two vertical lines and a right line, often used in text-based user interfaces and command-line applications to outline boxes or tables visually. This helps improve readability and organization of information in environments where graphical elements might be limited. The character is widely supported across platforms and programming languages that handle Unicode characters, making it a versatile tool for developers and designers working in various digital contexts. Its usage not only enhances the visual appeal but also provides an efficient way to structure content within the constraints of a text-based medium.
