Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⢃ has the Unicode code point U+2883. 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+2883 to binary:
00101000 10000011. 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 10000011

Description
U+2883, or Braille Pattern Dots-128, is a character in the Unicode standard that represents a specific arrangement of dots within a Braille cell. This unique pattern of six dots is commonly utilized in digital text formats to convey information for visually impaired individuals who rely on Braille as their primary means of communication. The Braille system was developed by Louis Braille in 1821, and has since evolved into various patterns and codes to represent letters, numbers, symbols, and punctuation marks. Braille Pattern Dots-128 is one such pattern that carries significant cultural, linguistic, and technical context, as it facilitates accessibility and inclusivity in digital communication for the visually impaired community worldwide.
