Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⣍ has the Unicode code point U+28CD. 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+28CD to binary:
00101000 11001101. 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 10001101

Description
The character U+28CD, known as BRAILLE PATTERNS DOTS-13478, holds a significant place in the realm of digital text and accessibility. This Unicode character represents one of the 63 unique Braille patterns used to encode letters, numbers, and punctuation marks within the Braille system. The Braille system, originally developed by Louis Braille in 1824, enables visually impaired individuals to read and write through a series of tactile dots arranged in six-dot configurations on a rectangular cell. In digital text, characters like U+28CD allow for the accurate translation of printed materials into a format that can be readily consumed by Braille display devices. The use of Braille Pattern Dots-13478 and other similar Unicode characters underscores the importance of digital inclusivity and accessibility, ensuring information is available to all users regardless of visual abilities.
