Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⢞ has the Unicode code point U+289E. 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+289E to binary:
00101000 10011110. 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 10011110

Description
U+289E is a Braille character code in the Unicode Standard representing the Braille pattern Dots-23458. This particular pattern is used to represent the letter 'E' in the six-dot Braille system, which is the most widely used Braille writing system globally. The Braille system was developed by Louis Braille in 1821 and has since become an essential tool for visually impaired individuals to read and write. In digital text, U+289E enables communication between blind or visually impaired users and their assistive technologies, such as Braille displays, embossers, and refreshable Braille devices. This character plays a crucial role in facilitating inclusive information exchange and accessibility across various digital platforms. The use of U+289E underscores the importance of considering inclusivity and universal design principles when developing digital content and products, ensuring that they are accessible to users with diverse abilities.
