Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡃ has the Unicode code point U+2843. 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+2843 to binary:
00101000 01000011. 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 10100001 10000011

Description
U+2843 is a Unicode character known as Braille Pattern Dots-127. It represents the dot pattern used in the Braille system for encoding characters, particularly the letter 'y' or the number 9. In digital text, this character is used to represent the specific arrangement of dots within a Braille cell. This arrangement is crucial for visually impaired individuals who rely on Braille as a means of reading and communication. The Braille system was developed by Louis Braille in the early 19th century and has since become an essential tool for people with visual impairments worldwide. In the context of Unicode, U+2843 contributes to the broader support of Braille representation, enabling accessible digital communication for visually impaired users.
