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
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2829 to binary:
00101000 00101001
. 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 10101001

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.
