Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡑ has the Unicode code point U+2851. 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+2851 to binary:
00101000 01010001. 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 10010001

Description
U+2851 Braille Pattern Dots-157 is a character used in Unicode to represent a specific dot configuration in the Braille system. In digital text, it is typically employed to convey information for visually impaired individuals who use Braille as a means of communication. The Braille system utilizes a series of raised dots arranged in a grid pattern, with each unique arrangement representing a letter or symbol. U+2851 corresponds to the Braille Pattern Dots-157, which is distinct from other patterns and carries its own unique meaning within the context of the Braille alphabet. As an essential tool for the visually impaired, Braille has cultural, linguistic, and technical significance, allowing individuals with visual disabilities to read and write using a tactile system that transcends language barriers. Unicode's inclusion of characters like U+2851 reflects its commitment to digital accessibility, ensuring that Braille content is accurately represented across various platforms and devices.
