Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⢉ has the Unicode code point U+2889. 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+2889 to binary:
00101000 10001001. 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 10100010 10001001

Description
U+2889 Braille Pattern Dots-148 is a character in the Unicode Standard, specifically designed for use in braille transcription systems. It represents a pattern of six dots arranged in a 2x3 matrix, where each dot can be either raised or lowered to form individual braille characters. This character plays an essential role in digital text by enabling visually impaired individuals to read and interpret text using braille translation software or hardware, such as Braille Displays. The Braille Pattern Dots-148 character, along with other Unicode Braille characters, helps promote accessibility and inclusivity for visually impaired users in digital communication environments.
