Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⠎ has the Unicode code point U+280E. 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+280E to binary:
00101000 00001110. 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 10001110

Description
U+280E is a character from the Unicode standard that represents Braille Pattern Dots-234, which is an essential component of digital text in the Braille system. This encoding allows for the accurate representation of Braille characters in various electronic devices and platforms, enabling visually impaired individuals to access information through their preferred method of reading. The character's role in the Braille system is significant as it represents one of six possible patterns used to form braille letters and symbols, each pattern consisting of up to 6 raised dots arranged in a grid configuration. These dots can be raised or not raised according to the specific Braille code for each character. The use of U+280E and similar characters from the Unicode standard plays a vital role in making digital content accessible to visually impaired users, thus promoting inclusivity and equal access to information across all communication mediums.
