Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ┗ has the Unicode code point U+2517. 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+2517 to binary:
00100101 00010111. 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 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+2517, known as the "BOX DRAWINGS HEAVY UP AND RIGHT," is a typographic symbol that serves an essential function in digital text, particularly in programming, markup languages, and data visualization. It is part of the larger group of Box Drawing characters, which include lines, dots, and other geometric shapes used to create borders, grids, or other graphical elements within digital text. U+2517 is often employed to construct various box shapes such as single-line borders, corners, T-junctions, and other components in user interfaces, flowcharts, pseudocode, and diagrams. It plays a crucial role in enhancing readability and providing structure to digital text that may otherwise be difficult to understand or navigate. Although U+2517 is widely used across various platforms and programming languages, its significance is often overlooked due to its minimalistic appearance. However, it remains an important tool for creating clear and visually appealing representations of data in a range of digital contexts.
