Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡥ has the Unicode code point U+2865. 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+2865 to binary:
00101000 01100101
. 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 10100001 10100101

Description
U+2865 (Braille Pattern Dots-1367) is a character in the Unicode standard that represents a specific Braille pattern used for tactile reading by individuals with visual impairments or blindness. It plays a crucial role in digital text, as it allows for communication and access to information through Braille translations of written material. The cultural, linguistic, and technical significance of this character lies in its capacity to bridge the gap between sighted and visually impaired individuals by facilitating equal access to printed content. Braille patterns are widely used across languages, making U+2865 an essential component for global communication, education, and information sharing for those with visual impairments.
