Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ┨ has the Unicode code point U+2528. 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+2528 to binary:
00100101 00101000. 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 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+2528 represents "BOX DRAWINGS VERTICAL HEAVY AND LEFT LIGHT" in digital text. This typographic symbol is often utilized in various applications, such as creating simple diagrams, flowcharts, tables, and other visual aids. It consists of two vertical lines: the top line is heavy (thick), while the bottom line is light (thin). The combination of these lines forms a visual division or separation in textual content, serving to organize information in a clear and structured manner. While U+2528 may not hold significant cultural, linguistic, or technical context beyond its role as a typographical element, it remains an essential tool for designers, programmers, and users working with text-based visuals in digital environments.
