Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ┚ has the Unicode code point U+251A. 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+251A to binary:
00100101 00011010. 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 10011010

Description
The character U+251A, also known as BOX DRAWINGS UP HEAVY AND LEFT LIGHT, is a typographical symbol commonly used in digital text for various purposes. It is part of the Unicode standard, which provides a consistent encoding system for characters and symbols across different languages and platforms. This specific character is used to create a visual distinction between heavy and light elements within a box-like structure, often used in ASCII art or text-based graphics. While not possessing any direct cultural, linguistic, or technical significance, it can serve as an important tool for creating visually engaging content within limited character sets or when working with plain text formats that do not support advanced graphic elements.
