Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ┒ has the Unicode code point U+2512. 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+2512 to binary:
00100101 00010010. 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 10010100 10010010

Description
The character U+2512 (BOX DRAWINGS DOWN HEAVY AND LEFT LIGHT) is a typographical symbol commonly used in digital text to represent a portion of a box or border within the context of Unicode, which is the standardized encoding system for text representation. This particular symbol, often referred to as a "heavy down light left" box drawing character, is part of a set of related symbols known as box drawers that include vertical and horizontal lines, corners, and various other shapes. These symbols are widely used in programming languages, markup languages such as HTML, and various applications for the creation of tables, charts, and diagrams. The use of U+2512 in digital text allows for the precise representation and alignment of visual elements, ensuring consistency and readability across different platforms and devices.
