Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⠉ has the Unicode code point U+2809. 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+2809 to binary:
00101000 00001001. 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 10001001

Description
U+2809 is a character in the Unicode Standard that represents Braille Pattern Dots-14. This Braille character, which corresponds to the number 6 in standard Braille notation, plays a crucial role in digital text related to Braille transcription and accessibility for visually impaired individuals. The Braille system was developed by Louis Braille in the early 19th century as a means of written communication for those with visual impairments. Each Braille character is represented by a unique pattern of raised dots, which can be read using touch. In digital text, U+2809 and other Braille characters help ensure that content is accessible to visually impaired users who utilize assistive technologies such as Braille displays. The use of these characters in digital media contributes to inclusivity and promotes equal access to information for all users, regardless of their sensory abilities.
