Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡉ has the Unicode code point U+2849. 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+2849 to binary:
00101000 01001001
. 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 10001001

Description
U+2849 is a Braille Pattern Dots-147 character in the Unicode standard, which plays a crucial role in representing tactile information in digital text for visually impaired individuals. The Braille system, invented by Louis Braille in 1821, relies on a combination of raised dots to represent letters, numbers, and other symbols, allowing blind or low-vision users to read using touch. Braille Pattern Dots-147 is part of the larger set of braille characters, and its specific configuration is used for distinct purposes depending on language or context. The usage of this character in digital formats enables seamless conversion between printed materials and braille translations, enhancing accessibility and information exchange across various platforms. By incorporating U+2849 in digital text, designers and developers contribute to a more inclusive user experience, respecting linguistic diversity and empowering individuals with visual impairments.
