Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⣦ has the Unicode code point U+28E6. 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+28E6 to binary:
00101000 11100110. 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 10100110

Description
U+28E6, or Braille Pattern Dots-23678, is a character within the Unicode standard that represents an individual cell in the Braille system used to encode text for visually impaired individuals. This specific pattern comprises of six dot positions arranged in a 2x3 grid format (two rows and three columns), with dots located at positions 2, 3, 6, and 7 in this configuration. Braille Pattern Dots-23678 typically represents the letter 'u' in uppercase or the numeral '8'. Due to its role in digital text, U+28E6 aids in providing accessible information for visually impaired users who rely on braille translation devices such as refreshable braille displays. This character contributes significantly to inclusivity and equality in digital communication by allowing individuals with visual impairments to read and engage with electronic texts in the same way as their sighted peers.
