Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⣵ has the Unicode code point U+28F5. 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+28F5 to binary:
00101000 11110101. 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 10110101

Description
U+28F5 (Braille Pattern Dots-135678) is a character in the Unicode Standard that represents one of the 256 possible Braille patterns used to encode characters in digital text for visually impaired individuals. As part of the Unified Braille System, this specific pattern corresponds to the letter "t" or the numeral "20" in Braille. It consists of a combination of six dots arranged in a 3x2 grid, with one dot raised above the others, making it easily distinguishable from other patterns. This character plays a crucial role in enabling communication and access to information for individuals who rely on braille as their primary means of reading and writing. Braille Pattern Dots-135678 is commonly used across various digital platforms, including Braille display devices and text editors, to ensure compatibility and consistency in the presentation of braille content. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard demonstrates a commitment to inclusivity and accessibility in digital communication for all users.
