Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⠗ has the Unicode code point U+2817. 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+2817 to binary:
00101000 00010111. 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 10100000 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+2817, also known as BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-1235, serves a crucial role in digital text by representing individual braille characters. As part of the Unified Braille System, this character encodes information for those who rely on braille for reading and writing. The braille system uses a series of raised dots to represent letters, numbers, and symbols, allowing visually impaired individuals to interpret written content through touch. BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-1235 is specifically used to denote the presence or absence of dots in braille cells, with "1" representing a raised dot and "0" denoting no dot. This character contributes significantly to digital accessibility, making written content available for a wider audience.
