Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ╡ has the Unicode code point U+2561. 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+2561 to binary:
00100101 01100001. 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 10010101 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+2561, known as the BOX DRAWINGS VERTICAL SINGLE AND LEFT DOUBLE, is a typographical symbol commonly used in digital text for creating simple geometric shapes and diagrams. Its primary role is to serve as a building block for creating lines and borders within digital content, including text-based user interfaces, ASCII art, and other forms of monospaced text representation. The character comprises two vertical lines placed side by side with one slightly thicker to represent a double line, and an additional single vertical line above them, forming a total of three vertical lines. This particular arrangement of lines is distinct from other box drawing characters, providing specific visual cues for readers or users interacting with the digital content. Although not directly tied to any specific cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts, U+2561 can be used across various platforms and systems, contributing to the universal accessibility and readability of digital text.
