Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ┾ has the Unicode code point U+253E. 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+253E to binary:
00100101 00111110. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+253E, commonly referred to as the "BOX DRAWINGS RIGHT HEAVY AND LEFT VERTICAL LIGHT," is a specialized symbol used in digital text for creating various box-related designs or structures. It primarily serves as a visual aid in text-based interfaces, where it can represent a vertical line that is heavier on the right side and lighter on the left side. This particular combination of lines can be used to create customized boxes, dividers, or separators that enhance the readability and organization of digital content. Although not as widely recognized as other box-drawing characters, U+253E has its place in typography, particularly in contexts where precise control over visual elements is required, such as creating complex tables or matrices within text documents. In these scenarios, the distinct properties of U+253E allow for greater customization and flexibility in design.
