Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⠊ has the Unicode code point U+280A. 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+280A to binary:
00101000 00001010. 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 10100000 10001010

Description
U+280A Braille Pattern Dots-24 is a crucial character in the Unicode standard, playing an essential role in representing Braille text in digital formats. As a widely used system for communication among individuals with visual impairments, Braille relies on tactile dot patterns to convey meaning. The Braille Pattern Dots-24 character specifically refers to the configuration of six dots arranged in a 3x2 grid, where each dot can be either raised or lowered based on the corresponding binary value in the source code. In digital text, U+280A facilitates accurate rendering and interpretation of Braille characters across various platforms and applications, ensuring that visually impaired users have access to information and communication tools. The Unicode character is a vital component of the ongoing efforts to promote inclusivity and accessibility in technology and written language.
