Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡦ has the Unicode code point U+2866. 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+2866 to binary:
00101000 01100110. 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 10100110

Description
U+2866, or Braille Pattern Dots-2367, is a character used in Unicode for representing a specific arrangement of dots in the Braille alphabet. In digital text, this character's primary role is to encode information in a format accessible to visually impaired individuals who use Braille as their medium for reading and writing. The Braille system utilizes raised dots to represent letters, numbers, and symbols, enabling blind or low-vision users to interpret the content through touch. U+2866 corresponds to a specific pattern of six dots arranged in a 3x2 grid, where the top-left dot is raised to signify the letter "g" or "n" in Braille, depending on its position within a word. This character, along with others in the Unicode range, helps facilitate the inclusion and accessibility of digital content for individuals who rely on Braille as their primary means of communication.
