Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⢾ has the Unicode code point U+28BE. 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+28BE to binary:
00101000 10111110. 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 10111110

Description
U+28BE is the Unicode code point for "BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-234568", which represents a specific Braille cell pattern in digital text. Braille is a tactile writing system used by visually impaired individuals, allowing them to read and write using touch. The BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-234568 consists of six raised dots arranged in a 3x2 grid, where each dot can be raised or not raised (indicating presence or absence of a unit) based on the binary representation of the character being transcribed. This pattern plays a crucial role in digital text for visually impaired users, facilitating access to information and communication in various electronic formats such as websites, documents, and e-books. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+28BE ensures compatibility across different devices and platforms, promoting inclusivity and equal access to information for all users, regardless of their visual abilities.
