Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⠕ has the Unicode code point U+2815. 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+2815 to binary:
00101000 00010101. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+2815, known as Braille Pattern Dots-135, plays a crucial role in the digital representation of braille text. It is used to encode the third character of Braille alphabet, which consists of six dots arranged in a rectangular grid with three dots on each row. This particular character, along with other braille pattern characters, enables visually impaired individuals to read and write using braille, a tactile writing system that translates letters and symbols into a series of raised dots. The Braille Pattern Dots-135 has been adapted for use in digital text through Unicode encoding, making it accessible across various devices and software, ensuring the continued relevance and effectiveness of this vital communication tool.
