Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⠭ has the Unicode code point U+282D. 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+282D to binary:
00101000 00101101. 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 10101101

Description
U+282D Braille Pattern Dots-1346 is a character within the Unicode standard used to represent the unique configuration of six dots in a 3x2 grid, which is utilized for tactile communication in Braille systems. In digital text, this character serves as a building block for creating words and sentences using the Braille writing system, enabling individuals with visual impairments or blindness to read and write using touch-based input devices such as Braille displays. The arrangement of dots in Braille Pattern Dots-1346 corresponds to the letter 'D' in contracted Braille, which is a more efficient way of representing words and sentences by combining letters into single characters that represent common phrases or words. This enables quicker and more effective communication for those accustomed to using this tactile writing system.
