Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⢺ has the Unicode code point U+28BA. 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+28BA to binary:
00101000 10111010. 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 10100010 10111010

Description
U+28BA is the Unicode character code for "BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-24568," a specific configuration of Braille dots used in digital text representation. As an essential component of Braille, this character plays a vital role in providing accessibility to visually impaired individuals by translating alphabetic, numerical, and symbolic information into tactile patterns. Its primary usage is within the realm of digital text, where it assists with reading and writing for those who rely on Braille for communication. The pattern itself consists of six dots arranged in a 2x3 grid, with each dot's presence or absence corresponding to specific elements of text. While U+28BA represents a specific Braille pattern, the broader context of Braille as a written language system is deeply rooted in cultural and linguistic significance, having evolved from a tactile writing system into an essential tool for literacy and communication among the visually impaired community worldwide.
