Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⢗ has the Unicode code point U+2897. 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+2897 to binary:
00101000 10010111. 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 10100010 10010111

Description
The character U+2897, known as BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-12358, is a crucial component in digital text representation for visually impaired individuals who utilize braille. Braille is a tactile writing system that uses a series of raised dots to convey meaning through touch, allowing those with visual impairments to read and write independently. Each braille character corresponds to a specific word or letter, and U+2897 represents one such configuration of these dots. The character's role in digital text is to maintain the integrity of the original message when converted from braille back into conventional print form. In this capacity, U+2897 plays an essential part in ensuring effective communication for those who rely on braille as a means of literacy.
