Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ┍ has the Unicode code point U+250D. 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+250D to binary:
00100101 00001101. 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 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+250D, known as BOX DRAWINGS DOWN LIGHT AND RIGHT HEAVY, is a typographical symbol used to represent various elements in digital text. It is part of the Box Drawings block in the Unicode Standard, which consists of 36 box-drawing characters used for creating simple graphical shapes and borders within text format. These characters are particularly useful in ASCII art, where text characters are employed to create visual images or designs. In addition, U+250D is often utilized in programming and markup languages to define specific structures, such as tables or grids, where it serves as a corner element for right-bottom edges. Despite its technical nature, the character does not have any notable cultural, linguistic, or historical significance beyond its role in digital communication and design.
