Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⣋ has the Unicode code point U+28CB. 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+28CB to binary:
00101000 11001011. 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 10001011

Description
U+28CB, also known as Braille Pattern Dots-12478, is a character within the Unicode Standard, specifically in the Braille Patterns block. Its primary role lies in digital text representation for visually impaired individuals who rely on braille for communication and information access. This character, along with other characters in the Braille Patterns block, enables the translation of text into its corresponding braille format, thereby allowing users to read digital content through touch. It is important to note that U+28CB, like all braille characters, represents a combination of six dots arranged in a 3x2 grid pattern, and the specific arrangement of these dots determines both the letter or symbol being represented and its placement within a word or sentence. In essence, U+28CB plays an integral part in promoting digital inclusion for visually impaired individuals by facilitating accessible text communication across various digital platforms and devices.
