Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⣩ has the Unicode code point U+28E9. 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+28E9 to binary:
00101000 11101001. 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 10100011 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+28E9, known as BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-14678, is a crucial element in digital text representation of the Braille alphabet. This character is vital in enabling visually impaired individuals to access and interpret written information through touch. It is part of the Braille Patterns Block (U+2800-U+28FF), which includes various Braille characters and symbols that represent letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and other essential elements of written language. In digital text, U+28E9 serves as a building block for creating Braille translations of text content, making it accessible to individuals with visual impairments who use Braille as their primary means of communication. This character, along with others in the Braille Patterns Block, ensures that written information can be effectively converted into a tactile format that is compatible with Braille displays and refreshable Braille embossers used by visually impaired people worldwide.
