Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⣥ has the Unicode code point U+28E5. 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+28E5 to binary:
00101000 11100101. 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 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+28E5, known as BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-13678, is a fundamental component of digital text in the Braille system. This typographical symbol serves as a building block for encoding alphabets, numbers, and various symbols within the context of digital braille documents. U+28E5's primary role lies in assisting visually impaired individuals by translating written content into tactile patterns that can be read through touch. The Braille system was developed by Louis Braille in the early 19th century, and since then, it has been a vital tool for enabling literacy among people with visual disabilities worldwide. By using these dots, digital braille translators are able to convert text from various languages into an accessible format, thereby promoting inclusivity and equal access to information across diverse linguistic landscapes.
