Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⢧ has the Unicode code point U+28A7. 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+28A7 to binary:
00101000 10100111. 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 10100111

Description
U+28A7 is a Braille character in the Unicode standard, representing the "Braille Pattern Dots-12368". This particular symbol is used to convey different pieces of information depending on its context when applied in digital text. In Braille systems, each character can be composed of six positions or cells, where each cell can either have a dot present (indicated by a "1") or not (indicated by a "0"). The Braille Pattern Dots-12368 has the binary representation 101100, meaning that it has dots in the first and sixth positions. In terms of its usage, the character serves as an integral part of digital text for visually impaired users who rely on braille displays to read content. The Braille Pattern Dots-12368 can represent different characters or even words depending on its configuration within the six cells. This allows the visually impaired to access information across a wide range of applications, including educational materials, books, and technology interfaces. The character is an important symbol in the field of digital text for the visually impaired as it ensures that they can access information with equal ease as their sighted counterparts. Its inclusion in Unicode demonstrates a commitment to inclusivity and equal access in digital communication.
