Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ┎ has the Unicode code point U+250E. 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+250E to binary:
00100101 00001110. 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 10001110

Description
U+250E, known as the "BOX DRAWINGS DOWN HEAVY AND RIGHT LIGHT" character, is a typographical symbol within the Unicode standard. This character is commonly used in digital text to represent a specific form of box drawing, where a heavy horizontal line is combined with a light vertical line. Its primary use lies in creating visual elements or grids for layout purposes, such as dividers or borders within digital text content. While it may not have any significant cultural, linguistic, or technical context, its presence can be observed in various design elements and coding applications where visual demarcation is necessary.
