Description

U+2829 is a character in the Unicode Standard that represents Braille Pattern Dots-146, a fundamental element of the Braille system used for reading and writing among individuals with visual impairments. This character encodes various information by varying the arrangement of its six dots, forming patterns corresponding to alphabetic characters, numbers, punctuation marks, and other symbols. The use of U+2829 in digital text facilitates communication and accessibility for blind users, bridging the gap between them and sighted individuals while promoting inclusivity and information exchange.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 10281 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+2829. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+2829 to binary: 00101000 00101001. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10101001
