Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⣕ has the Unicode code point U+28D5. 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+28D5 to binary:
00101000 11010101. 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 10010101

Description
U+28D5, also known as Braille Pattern Dots-13578, is a critical character in the realm of typography, specifically within the digital text domain for visually impaired individuals. This unique symbol serves as a component in the Braille system, an essential tactile writing system used by millions worldwide. The Braille pattern comprises six raised dots that can be arranged to represent letters and numbers. U+28D5 represents one such arrangement (dots-13578), contributing to the overall functionality of the Braille script. Braille Pattern Dots-13578 holds a significant place in cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts due to its role in enabling communication for individuals with visual impairments. The Braille system, originally developed by Louis Braille in 1821, has undergone various adaptations over time, ensuring that it remains relevant and accessible in contemporary digital spaces. As a result, U+28D5 and the broader Braille script continue to play an essential part in promoting inclusivity and accessibility within the digital world.
