Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡙ has the Unicode code point U+2859. 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+2859 to binary:
00101000 01011001. 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 10011001

Description
U+2859, or Braille Pattern Dots-1457, is a character in the Unicode standard that represents one of the 63 possible braille code cells used in Braille alphabet, specifically for the letter "Q". This character plays an essential role in digital text as it enables visually impaired individuals to read text using a braille display. The Braille system was developed by Louis Braille in the early 19th century and has since become a crucial tool for accessibility worldwide. Each of the six dots in the Braille cell corresponds to a particular position on a standard English QWERTY keyboard, providing a consistent method for translating written text into tactile patterns. The use of U+2859 in digital text reflects the ongoing efforts to promote inclusivity and accessibility across various platforms and media.
