Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡶ has the Unicode code point U+2876. 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+2876 to binary:
00101000 01110110. 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 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+2876 represents Braille Pattern Dots-23567, a specific configuration of dots used in Braille writing. This character is part of the Braille Patterns block (U+2800–U+28FF) in the Unicode Standard, which includes various Braille characters and symbols commonly employed in digital text for visually impaired individuals. Braille is a tactile writing system that enables blind or low-vision people to read and write using raised dots. The dot pattern represented by U+2876 can correspond to a specific letter, number, punctuation mark, or symbol depending on the context within the Braille alphabet or other Braille codes. As an essential component of digital accessibility, the use of Unicode characters like U+2876 ensures that electronic documents and websites are accessible to visually impaired users who rely on screen readers and braille display devices.
