Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⠵ has the Unicode code point U+2835. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2835 to binary:
00101000 00110101
. 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 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+2835 is designated as "BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-1356." This character is integral to digital Braille texts, which are derived from the tactile writing system used by individuals with vision impairments. In a braille representation, each character or symbol is conveyed through a unique arrangement of raised dots within a standardized grid of six positions. U+2835 corresponds to "dots-1356" in this grid, which constitutes the Braille numeral for the number 6. This numeral plays a crucial role in digital text intended for visually impaired users, as it allows them to access numerical information with ease and accuracy, thus empowering them to engage with various forms of digital content independently.
