Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ╓ has the Unicode code point U+2553. 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+2553 to binary:
00100101 01010011. 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 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+2553, known as the BOX DRAWINGS DOWN DOUBLE AND RIGHT SINGLE, is a specialized typographical symbol predominantly used in digital text for creating various box-like structures or shapes. It is part of a larger group of Box Drawing characters within the Unicode Standard, which include eight vertical and horizontal lines, single and double lines, as well as left, right, top, and bottom orientations. These symbols are primarily utilized in programming environments, user interfaces, and text editors for creating borders around sections of text or code blocks, guiding users' attention to specific areas within the content, or dividing different parts of a digital document. While these characters might not hold cultural or linguistic significance, they do play a vital role in improving the readability and presentation of digital text, aiding users in navigating through complex information more efficiently.
