Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⢑ has the Unicode code point U+2891. 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+2891 to binary:
00101000 10010001. 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 10010001

Description
U+2891, or Braille Pattern Dots-158, is a character in the Unicode standard that represents one of the 63 possible braille patterns. It plays a critical role in digital text by enabling visually impaired individuals to read and write using Braille, a tactile writing system that translates alphabetic, numeric, and symbolic characters into distinct combinations of raised dots. The character's cultural, linguistic, and technical significance lies in its ability to facilitate communication and literacy for millions of people worldwide who are blind or have low vision. In digital text, U+2891 is often employed in conjunction with other Unicode braille characters to form words and sentences, making written content accessible across various platforms and devices.
