Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡭ has the Unicode code point U+286D. 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+286D to binary:
00101000 01101101. 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 10101101

Description
U+286D, or Braille Pattern Dots-13467, is a character within the Unicode standard that represents a specific configuration of braille dots. In digital text, it serves as a visual representation for the tactile pattern used in braille writing systems. The braille system was developed to facilitate reading and writing for individuals with vision impairments. Each character in braille is represented by a combination of six dots, arranged in a 3x2 grid. In U+286D, the first and fourth dots are raised, indicating the presence of the letter "L" or the digit "1". This character plays a crucial role in enabling communication and information access for visually impaired individuals by translating text into a tactile format that can be read through touch. The use of Braille Pattern Dots-13467 reflects the cultural, linguistic, and technical importance of braille as an inclusive means of written communication, transcending visual barriers and fostering equal access to information for all users.
