Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ◪ has the Unicode code point U+25EA. 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+25EA to binary:
00100101 11101010. 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 10010111 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+25EA represents a SQUARE WITH LOWER RIGHT DIAGONAL HALF BLACK. This symbol is utilized in digital text for its role as a shading element, specifically to depict a square with the lower right diagonal half filled with black color. It's part of a set of shading characters under Unicode block 'MISCELLANEOUS FULLWIDTH CHARACTERS'. These characters are primarily used in East Asian typography and scripts, particularly for Japanese typography where it assists in creating visual cues like shading effects, borders, or dividers. It is commonly employed in word processing software, graphic design applications, web pages, and digital documents to achieve specific typographic styles that enhance readability and visual appeal.
