Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⣚ has the Unicode code point U+28DA. 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+28DA to binary:
00101000 11011010. 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 10011010

Description
U+28DA is the Unicode code point for Braille Pattern Dots-24578, a character used in digital text representation of the Braille alphabet. As a key element of the Braille system, it enables visually impaired individuals to read and write using tactile feedback through touch. The character consists of six positions, each representing either a raised or flat dot, corresponding to binary values 1 or 0 respectively. In the context of digital text encoding, U+28DA ensures that Braille content is accurately rendered across different platforms and devices, supporting accessibility and inclusivity in communication. Its significance lies in its role as a critical tool for visually impaired people to engage with written language and information, reflecting the rich cultural history and ongoing evolution of Braille as a tactile writing system.
