Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡾ has the Unicode code point U+287E. 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+287E to binary:
00101000 01111110. 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 10111110

Description
U+287E (BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-234567) is a character in the Unicode standard that represents a specific Braille pattern. In digital text, it serves as a crucial component for converting written language into tactile information, enabling visually impaired individuals to read using a Braille display or other assistive devices. This particular pattern consists of six dots arranged in a grid, with the first and second dots being raised, while the third, fourth, and fifth are flat. The sixth dot is indented. This arrangement allows for a wide range of letters, numbers, symbols, and punctuation marks to be represented within the Braille system.
