Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⢚ has the Unicode code point U+289A. 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+289A to binary:
00101000 10011010. 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 10011010

Description
U+289A Braille Pattern Dots-2458 is a character in the Unicode standard, representing a specific configuration of dots used in digital text for Braille communication. This character, along with other Braille pattern characters (U+2800 to U+28FF), allows for encoding and displaying tactile written language for visually impaired individuals. The unique arrangement of dots in the Braille Pattern Dots-2458 helps convey meaning through touch, facilitating accessibility in various domains such as education, literature, and technology. These characters maintain cultural and linguistic significance by enabling the blind community to read and write using an accessible representation of text. In digital applications, the use of Braille pattern characters ensures consistency across devices and platforms for those relying on braille displays or refreshable braille devices.
