Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ┩ has the Unicode code point U+2529. 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+2529 to binary:
00100101 00101001. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+2529, known as the "BOX DRAWINGS DOWN LIGHT AND LEFT UP HEAVY," is a typographical symbol used predominantly in digital text for creating simple graphical elements or enhancing the visual layout of content. This character is part of the Box Drawing subset of Unicode, which includes various characters designed to create rectangles, lines, and other shapes within text. U+2529 specifically represents a heavy vertical line extending upwards from a light horizontal line that runs left to right. This particular symbol can be used to create directional cues or arrows within text-based interfaces where graphical elements are limited or not supported. Although the character is primarily technical in nature, it may also be employed in situations requiring precise layout control or when creating simple illustrations within digital text.
