Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ┓ has the Unicode code point U+2513. 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+2513 to binary:
00100101 00010011. 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 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+2513, known as the "BOX DRAWINGS HEAVY DOWN AND LEFT" symbol, serves a critical role in typography by providing a visual indicator for directional movement in text-based user interfaces and digital documents. This symbol is commonly used to indicate downward and leftward movement, making it an essential tool in programming languages, particularly those dealing with graphical elements or coordinate systems. In the context of Unicode, U+2513 is part of a larger group of Box Drawings characters (U+250C to U+252F), which were designed to represent various box-drawing elements such as lines, corners, and other shapes for use in text-based user interfaces. While the use of these symbols has largely been supplanted by graphical elements in modern applications, their role in Unicode demonstrates the importance of maintaining a comprehensive character set that accommodates both traditional typography and digital interfaces.
