Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⠮ has the Unicode code point U+282E. 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+282E to binary:
00101000 00101110. 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 10101110

Description
U+282E, also known as Braille Pattern Dots-2346, is a crucial character in the Unicode standard. It plays a significant role in digital text by serving as a building block for Braille notation, an essential tool for visually impaired individuals worldwide. This character, along with other characters in the Braille pattern series (U+2800 to U+282F), enables communication and learning through touch, empowering those with vision loss to read and write independently. The Braille system was developed by Louis Braille in 19th-century France, revolutionizing accessibility for the blind community. Today, it remains a vital cultural, linguistic, and technical resource that fosters inclusivity and learning opportunities across various languages.
