Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ┣ has the Unicode code point U+2523. 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+2523 to binary:
00100101 00100011. 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 10100011

Description
U+2523, also known as BOX DRAWINGS HEAVY VERTICAL AND RIGHT, is a typographical character that serves a specific purpose in digital text. This Unicode character represents a heavy vertical line combined with a right-pointing angle bracket. In the context of typography and digital design, it is often used to create diagrams, flowcharts, or illustrations within a text document where traditional graphical elements might not be feasible or appropriate. Although this character does not have a prominent role in any particular culture or language, it is a valuable tool for designers, programmers, and other professionals who require precise control over the layout and appearance of their digital content.
