Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⠥ has the Unicode code point U+2825. 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+2825 to binary:
00101000 00100101. 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 10100101

Description
U+2825, or Braille Pattern Dots-136, is a vital character within the Unicode standard that plays a crucial role in digital text by representing a specific pattern of dots in the Braille system. As a widely adopted tactile writing system utilized primarily by the visually impaired community, Braille allows users to read and write through touch. Each character in Braille is represented by a unique arrangement of six raised dots, enabling users to identify words and phrases based on these patterns. The U+2825 character corresponds to Braille Pattern Dots-136, which consists of one raised dot in the first position and no dots in the remaining five positions. This specific pattern can represent various letters or characters depending on its context within a Braille sentence, demonstrating the versatility and adaptability of the Braille system across multiple languages and applications. As an essential component of digital text accessibility, U+2825 ensures that the Braille system remains inclusive and usable for those with visual impairments in the rapidly evolving digital world.
