Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ┌ has the Unicode code point U+250C. 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+250C to binary:
00100101 00001100. 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 10001100

Description
The character U+250C, known as the BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT DOWN AND RIGHT, is a symbol commonly used in digital text to create simple diagrams, grids, or tables. This character is part of the Unicode standard and can be found within the Box Drawings block, which consists of symbols used for constructing box-like shapes for various purposes, such as creating borders around text or dividing sections within a document. The BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT DOWN AND RIGHT symbol, specifically, is useful in representing a diagonal line extending downwards and to the right, often employed to create triangles or other geometric shapes. While it does not hold any significant cultural, linguistic, or technical context beyond its role in digital text representation, its versatility makes it a valuable tool for developers, designers, and anyone looking to add simple diagrams or visual elements to their work.
