Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡛ has the Unicode code point U+285B. 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+285B to binary:
00101000 01011011. 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 10011011

Description
U+285B Braille Pattern Dots-12457 is a crucial character in the Unicode Standard, which encompasses various typographic symbols and scripts from around the world. The character serves as an essential element in digital text for individuals who are visually impaired or blind, enabling them to read electronic documents using braille translators and other assistive technologies. The pattern consists of six dots arranged in a 3x2 grid, with each dot representing either a raised or flat surface within the context of a braille cell. In the case of Braille Pattern Dots-12457, the configuration is formed by a single raised dot at position B4 (the first dot in the bottom row) and all other dots being flat. This specific pattern holds significance in the braille alphabet for representing different letters or symbols, depending on its placement within a larger braille cell. The precise meaning of U+285B Braille Pattern Dots-12457 is dependent on its context, but it is an essential part of the braille system that facilitates communication and information accessibility for those with visual impairments.
