Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡖ has the Unicode code point U+2856. 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+2856 to binary:
00101000 01010110. 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 10010110

Description
U+2856 is the Unicode code point for Braille Pattern Dots-2357, a character primarily used in digital text for representing specific patterns within the braille system. This system is essential for visually impaired individuals as it allows them to read and write using tactile raised dots. These patterns, or cells, are formed by a combination of six available positions, where each dot can either be present (represented by "1") or absent (represented by "0"). In Braille Pattern Dots-2357, the particular arrangement is 110 110, meaning that dots 1 and 4 are raised. This character plays a crucial role in digital communication, assistive technology, and accessibility services for visually impaired users worldwide.
