Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⠆ has the Unicode code point U+2806. 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+2806 to binary:
00101000 00000110. 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 10100000 10000110

Description
U+2806, also known as Braille Pattern Dots-23, is a character that plays a crucial role in the realm of digital text for visually impaired individuals who rely on Braille for communication. It belongs to the Unicode standard, which aims to accommodate diverse scripts and symbols from around the world. As a part of the Braille system, U+2806 represents one of six possible combinations of raised dots that correspond to letters, numbers, or punctuation marks in the standard 6-dot Braille cell. This character facilitates the translation of digital text into tactile information for Braille readers, enabling them to access written content through touch. The widespread use and adoption of Unicode ensure that U+2806 can be accurately displayed and interpreted across different devices, applications, and operating systems, thus promoting inclusivity and equal access to information for the visually impaired community.
