Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⠽ has the Unicode code point U+283D. 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+283D to binary:
00101000 00111101. 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 10111101

Description
U+283D, also known as Braille Pattern Dots-13456, is a crucial character in digital typography, specifically within the context of accessible text for visually impaired individuals. This character is an integral component of Unicode, a universal encoding system that enables computers to accurately represent and manipulate text in various languages and scripts. Braille Pattern Dots-13456 is one of 288 unique Braille characters, each represented by a series of six raised dots arranged in a rectangular grid pattern. These characters are read using touch rather than sight, allowing those with visual impairments to access written information independently. The character's role within digital text signifies its importance in the ongoing efforts to ensure equal access to information for all individuals, regardless of their abilities.
