Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⣫ has the Unicode code point U+28EB. 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+28EB to binary:
00101000 11101011. 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 10101011

Description
U+28EB (Braille Pattern Dots-124678) is a character in the Unicode standard used for encoding Braille patterns in digital text. This character, along with other Braille pattern characters, enables visually impaired individuals to access written information through Braille, a tactile writing system that represents letters and symbols using raised dots. The Braille Pattern Dots-124678 specifically corresponds to the letter "i" in English Braille. In digital text, this character is used to ensure compatibility with screen readers and other assistive technologies, allowing users to read content accurately and efficiently. Unicode's inclusion of Braille characters is an essential step towards promoting accessibility and inclusivity for people with visual impairments in the digital realm.
