Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ╒ has the Unicode code point U+2552. 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+2552 to binary:
00100101 01010010. 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 10010101 10010010

Description
The character U+2552, also known as the "BOX DRAWINGS DOWN SINGLE AND RIGHT DOUBLE," holds a significant role in digital text, particularly within computer programming and typography. This Unicode character is primarily used for creating various types of boxes and borders within digital text and graphic elements. Its primary usage includes defining sections, tables, or areas in a document, as well as marking lines, separators, or boundaries. Due to its versatile nature, the U+2552 character can be found in numerous programming languages and document formats such as HTML, LaTeX, and Markdown. Its double line on the right side distinguishes it from other box drawing characters, thereby providing a unique identifier for specific areas within the text or content being represented.
