Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡺ has the Unicode code point U+287A. 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+287A to binary:
00101000 01111010. 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 10111010

Description
U+287A, or BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-24567, is a significant character within the Unicode standard, specifically designed to represent Braille patterns in digital text. As an integral component of the widely utilized Braille system, it plays a crucial role in facilitating communication for individuals with visual impairments. The Braille pattern consists of six dots arranged in a 2x3 grid, where each dot can be either raised or flat, creating various combinations to represent letters, numbers, and symbols. U+287A corresponds to the specific configuration of two raised dots in the first column, one raised dot in the second column, and no raised dots in the third column. This particular pattern is associated with the lowercase English letter 'g' in Braille script. By incorporating this character into digital text, accessibility is enhanced for visually impaired users who rely on braille readers or electronic displays to interpret written content. Overall, U+287A reflects the ongoing effort to make information accessible and inclusive for all individuals, regardless of their visual abilities.
