Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⣧ has the Unicode code point U+28E7. 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+28E7 to binary:
00101000 11100111. 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 10100011 10100111

Description
U+28E7, or BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-123678, is a character in the Unicode Standard that represents one of 256 possible patterns used in Braille writing systems. These patterns are composed of six dots arranged in a grid, with each dot either raised or flat, depending on its status as printed or embossed material. In digital text, BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-123678 is typically used to describe the specific Braille character that corresponds to a letter of the alphabet, a numeral, a punctuation mark, or a symbol, rather than being directly represented in the output. This allows for consistent and accurate communication across various platforms and applications, such as digital Braille translation tools, text-to-speech software, and assistive technologies designed for visually impaired users. The character is essential in maintaining cultural, linguistic, and technical continuity within Braille writing systems, ensuring accessibility and inclusion for individuals who rely on tactile communication methods.
