Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⢍ has the Unicode code point U+288D. 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+288D to binary:
00101000 10001101. 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 10100010 10001101

Description
U+288D is a character in the Unicode Standard that represents Braille Pattern Dots-1348 (BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-1348), which is an essential element of digital text for visually impaired individuals. This character, along with other Braille pattern characters, forms part of a tactile writing system designed to be read by touch rather than sight. Braille Pattern Dots-1348 is one of the 256 possible Braille cell patterns and is used to represent specific letters or symbols in various languages, including English, French, Spanish, and others. The adoption of Unicode for encoding Braille patterns has facilitated seamless integration of Braille content into digital communication platforms, enabling users with visual impairments to access information more efficiently. Overall, U+288D plays a significant role in promoting inclusivity and equal access to information for individuals with vision disabilities.
