Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⣭ has the Unicode code point U+28ED. 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+28ED to binary:
00101000 11101101. 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 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+28ED, or BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-134678, plays a crucial role in digital text by representing a specific Braille pattern used to transcribe individual characters of written language into tactile symbols for visually impaired individuals. This character is part of the Unicode Braille block, which aims to standardize Braille representation across various devices and platforms. The BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-134678, like other Braille patterns, consists of a combination of dots arranged in a 3x2 matrix, where each dot or lack thereof represents a binary value (present or absent) for the corresponding bit in the character's binary representation. In the context of digital text, U+28ED ensures that Braille translations are consistent and accurate across different technologies, making it easier for blind users to access information through their preferred method of reading.
