Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⣮ has the Unicode code point U+28EE. 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+28EE to binary:
00101000 11101110. 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 10100011 10101110

Description
U+28EE is the Unicode code point for Braille Pattern Dots-234678, a character used in digital text representation of braille. This character serves as an essential element in the Braille system, which enables visually impaired individuals to read and write through tactile means. In braille, each letter or symbol is represented by a unique combination of raised dots, with U+28EE specifically corresponding to the numeral 6 in braille. This character, when used in digital text formats like Unicode, facilitates communication and accessibility for visually impaired users across various platforms and devices. Braille has significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance as it allows individuals with visual impairments to engage with written language, fostering independence, literacy, and social interaction.
