Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⣳ has the Unicode code point U+28F3. 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+28F3 to binary:
00101000 11110011. 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 10110011

Description
The Unicode character U+28F3, or Braille Pattern Dots-125678, plays a crucial role in the digital representation of Braille text. Braille is a tactile writing system used by individuals with visual impairments to read and write. Each Braille character consists of up to six raised dots arranged in a grid pattern, with each dot representing either 0 or 1. U+28F3 specifically represents the Braille Pattern Dots-125678, which is a single cell of this system. This character facilitates the accurate conversion of Braille text into digital format and vice versa, enabling visually impaired users to access and interact with digital content through assistive technology such as Braille displays. In this context, U+28F3 serves as an essential component in promoting inclusivity and equal access to information for individuals with visual disabilities.
