Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡷ has the Unicode code point U+2877. 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+2877 to binary:
00101000 01110111. 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 10110111

Description
U+2877, known as BRAILLE PATTERNS DOTS-123567, is a character in the Unicode Standard that represents one of the 256 possible Braille patterns used to form characters in the Braille alphabet. This pattern consists of six dots arranged in a rectangular grid with two rows and three columns, where each dot can be either raised or not raised to create distinct combinations. In digital text, U+2877 is utilized as part of Unified Braille, a system that encompasses the various Braille writing systems used globally. This character plays a vital role in facilitating communication and literacy for individuals with visual impairments, providing them with access to written information through touch. As an essential component of Braille, U+2877 contributes to promoting inclusivity and empowering those with visual disabilities by enabling them to read and write using digital devices.
