Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ┧ has the Unicode code point U+2527. 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+2527 to binary:
00100101 00100111. 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 10100111

Description
The Unicode character U+2527, known as the "BOX DRAWINGS DOWN HEAVY AND LEFT UP LIGHT," is a typographical symbol used in digital text to create various graphical elements, particularly in the context of box drawings. It is part of a broader set of characters designed for creating lines and shapes within text environments, often utilized in ASCII art or to design simple geometric patterns. The U+2527 character specifically combines two distinct line styles: a heavy, solid line that extends downwards from the top of the box, and a light, dotted line that rises upwards from the bottom. This combination allows for the creation of visually appealing, detailed designs with minimal use of text-based graphics. While the character is not tied to any specific cultural or linguistic contexts, it has been widely adopted in computer programming, graphic design, and digital communication for its versatility and simplicity.
