Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ┵ has the Unicode code point U+2535. 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+2535 to binary:
00100101 00110101. 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 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+2535, known as "BOX DRAWINGS LEFT HEAVY AND RIGHT UP LIGHT," is a typographic symbol used in digital text to create graphical elements such as borders or divisions within content. It is part of the Box Drawing block in Unicode, which consists of several characters designed for creating simple line drawings within text. The U+2535 character specifically represents a left-heavy and right-up light box drawing, meaning that the left side of the symbol has a heavier line, while the upper right corner is lighter than the rest of the box. This particular symbol can be used in various contexts, such as creating simple diagrams, flowcharts, tables, or even as a decorative element within text-based art or design. While it does not have any direct cultural, linguistic, or technical significance, it plays an important role in enhancing the visual appeal and organization of content across different digital platforms.
