Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ┢ has the Unicode code point U+2522. 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+2522 to binary:
00100101 00100010. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+2522, known as the BOX DRAWINGS UP LIGHT AND RIGHT DOWN HEAVY, is a typographical symbol commonly used in digital text for creating diagrams or flowcharts. Its typical usage includes representing an upward-facing arrow with a vertical line and a heavy downward-facing arrow with a horizontal line. This character is particularly useful in technical documentation, programming languages, and other forms of digital communication where clear visual representation of directional flow and hierarchical relationships are essential. In the context of Unicode, U+2522 belongs to the Box Drawing category, alongside several other similar characters that help create various box-like shapes and arrows for illustrative purposes.
