Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⢋ has the Unicode code point U+288B. 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+288B to binary:
00101000 10001011. 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 10001011

Description
U+288B Braille Pattern Dots-1248 is a character in the Unicode Standard that represents a specific configuration of dots within the Braille system. In digital text, it serves as a visual representation of the dot pattern used in Braille writing for encoding the letter "R" or the numeral "1". The Braille system, first developed by Louis Braille in 1824, allows visually impaired individuals to read and write using a series of raised dots that correspond to written symbols. Each character in the Braille alphabet is represented by a unique combination of six dots arranged in a 3x2 grid. U+288B contributes to the accessibility of digital information for blind users by enabling proper translation of text into its tactile form.
