Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡻ has the Unicode code point U+287B. 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+287B to binary:
00101000 01111011. 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 10111011

Description
U+287B Braille Pattern Dots-124567 is a character in the Unicode Standard that represents a specific arrangement of dots used in digital text for Braille communication. Braille is a tactile writing system employed by individuals with visual impairments, enabling them to read and write through touch. Each character in Braille is represented by a unique pattern of six dots arranged in a 3x2 grid. The Braille Pattern Dots-124567 corresponds to the letter 'e' in English Braille, where the first dot is raised (indicated by "1" in the pattern name) and the second, third, fourth, and sixth dots are lowered ("0"). This character plays a vital role in enhancing accessibility for visually impaired individuals, bridging the communication gap between them and sighted people.
