Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ┙ has the Unicode code point U+2519. 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+2519 to binary:
00100101 00011001. 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 10011001

Description
U+2519, also known as BOX DRAWINGS UP LIGHT AND LEFT HEAVY, is a character from the Unicode standard used in digital text representation. This specific typographical symbol plays a significant role in creating diagrams and visual elements within text-based environments, such as in box plots for data visualization or to denote up and left directions in flowcharts. While it may not hold any notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context like certain other Unicode characters, the BOX DRAWINGS UP LIGHT AND LEFT HEAVY serves a vital purpose in maintaining clarity and understanding of complex, non-linear information within digital text. Its usage is essential for enhancing readability and facilitating comprehension across various digital platforms and software applications that rely on Unicode for displaying content accurately.
