Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡯ has the Unicode code point U+286F. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+286F to binary:
00101000 01101111
. 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 10100001 10101111

Description
U+286F, also known as Braille Pattern Dots-123467, is a crucial character in the Unicode standard. Its primary role lies in digital text, specifically within the realm of braille translation for visually impaired individuals. As part of the braille system, this character helps to represent individual letters and symbols, allowing users to access written content through tactile means. The Braille Pattern Dots-123467 is one of the 6 possible configurations of the braille cell, which comprises 6 dots arranged in a rectangular grid. Each dot's presence or absence corresponds to a particular letter, number, or symbol in the braille alphabet. The character plays an essential part in bridging the gap between sighted and visually impaired individuals by enabling the accessibility of written information.
