Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⢕ has the Unicode code point U+2895. 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+2895 to binary:
00101000 10010101. 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 10010101

Description
U+2895 Braille Pattern Dots-1358 is a character in the Unicode Standard, specifically designed for digital text representation in Braille. In the context of Braille, it represents the first Braille cell, which comprises three rows and two columns of dots, totaling six dots per cell. The dot patterns in Braille are used to represent letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and symbols in the Braille alphabet. This character plays a significant role in enabling visually impaired individuals to read digital text using Braille display devices or refreshable Braille displays connected to computers or other electronic devices. By encoding Braille patterns like U+2895 in digital text, communication becomes accessible and inclusive for those with visual disabilities, promoting equal access to information and literacy.
