Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡽ has the Unicode code point U+287D. 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+287D to binary:
00101000 01111101. 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 10111101

Description
U+287D, known as BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-134567, is a character within the Unicode standard that represents one of the 256 possible braille patterns used in digital text. It plays a crucial role in enabling blind and visually impaired individuals to read and write using braille. This particular pattern consists of three raised dots arranged in a horizontal line, with the middle dot elevated to differentiate it from other characters. In the context of Unicode, U+287D is part of the Braille Patterns block (U+2800-U+28FF), which includes 183 braille characters used for representing both letters and punctuation marks in digital form. This encoding system allows for interoperability between various devices and platforms, facilitating access to information and communication for individuals with visual impairments. The use of U+287D and other braille patterns reflects a commitment to inclusivity and universal access to written language in the digital age.
