Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⣑ has the Unicode code point U+28D1. 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+28D1 to binary:
00101000 11010001. 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 10010001

Description
U+28D1 is a character from the Unicode Standard representing Braille Pattern Dots-1578 in digital text. This character is essential for creating braille translations of written content, as it serves as one of the 638 potential combinations of dots that make up the Braille alphabet. The character consists of a grid with six cells, where each cell can either have a dot or be empty. In this specific pattern, only the third and fourth cells from the left have dots, while the rest are empty. This pattern corresponds to the letter 'n' in standard English braille. Braille Pattern Dots-1578 is critical for individuals who rely on braille as a means of accessing information due to visual impairment or blindness, enabling them to read and comprehend digital text with the same ease as sighted users. The Unicode character U+28D1 serves as an important component in making digital content accessible to this underserved demographic and promoting inclusivity in our increasingly digitized world.
