Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⣝ has the Unicode code point U+28DD. 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+28DD to binary:
00101000 11011101. 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 10100011 10011101

Description
U+28DD (Braille Pattern Dots-134578) is a character in the Unicode standard used to represent Braille patterns digitally. In digital text, this character typically serves as a visual representation of a specific Braille cell pattern used for tactile communication among visually impaired individuals. The Braille system was developed by Louis Braille in 1821 and has since become an essential tool for reading and writing for millions of people worldwide who are blind or have low vision. Each Braille character is represented by a unique arrangement of six dot positions, corresponding to the positions on a standard six-dot Braille cell. The pattern "134578" indicates the specific arrangement of dots in the cell: 1 (raised) and 3 (raised), 4 (raised) and 5 (raised), and 7 (raised) and 8 (raised). This character plays a crucial role in digital communication and accessibility, ensuring that Braille content can be accurately represented across various platforms and devices.
