Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡹ has the Unicode code point U+2879. 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+2879 to binary:
00101000 01111001. 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 10111001

Description
U+2879, Braille Pattern Dots-14567, is a character within the Unicode Standard that represents one of the 256 possible patterns in the six-dot Braille system. Developed by Louis Braille in 1821, this tactile writing system allows visually impaired individuals to read and write using raised dots. In digital text, U+2879 is used to encode the Braille pattern for the letter "u" in Grade 1 or Grade 2 Braille, where each Braille cell corresponds to a character. Its role is crucial in promoting accessibility and inclusivity in written communication for those with visual impairments.
