Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡝ has the Unicode code point U+285D. 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+285D to binary:
00101000 01011101. 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 10011101

Description
U+285D is the Unicode code point for Braille Pattern Dots-13457. This character represents a specific arrangement of raised dots used in braille systems to represent individual letters, numbers, or symbols. In digital text, such as e-books and websites designed for visually impaired users, U+285D is often used to present the content in an accessible format that can be read by braille displays connected to screen readers. Braille, developed in the 19th century by Louis Braille, provides a tactile representation of alphabets and numerals for people who are blind or have low vision. The pattern represented by U+285D is one of several possible configurations that correspond to different characters in the braille system. It plays an essential role in ensuring equal access to information for individuals with visual impairments, promoting inclusivity and accessibility across various digital platforms.
