Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⠓ has the Unicode code point U+2813. 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+2813 to binary:
00101000 00010011. 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 10100000 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+2813, known as BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-125, plays a significant role in digital text by representing the Braille pattern for the numeral "6" in the Braille writing system. Developed in the early 19th century by Charles Barbier and later improved by Louis Braille, this tactile writing method has become an essential means of communication for individuals with visual impairments worldwide. In digital text, U+2813 assists in converting printed materials into Braille format, making information accessible to a broader audience. As part of the Unicode Standard, this character contributes to standardizing and promoting inclusivity in typography and digital communication.
