Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ┘ has the Unicode code point U+2518. 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+2518 to binary:
00100101 00011000. 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 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+2518, also known as BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT UP AND LEFT, is a typographical symbol primarily used in digital text for creating box-like structures or dividers. This particular character represents the left half of a lightweight vertical line, often employed to create borders or to separate different sections within a text document. Although U+2518 is not associated with any specific cultural or linguistic context, it plays an important role in technical documents and programming, where clear delineation of content is crucial. The use of this character allows for the creation of visually distinct divisions without relying on traditional text formatting methods such as indentation or white space, making it a valuable tool in various digital communication platforms.
