Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⢊ has the Unicode code point U+288A. 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+288A to binary:
00101000 10001010. 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 10001010

Description
U+288A, or Braille Pattern Dots-248, is a character in the Unicode standard that plays a significant role in digital text by representing one of the 63 cells within the Braille alphabet. Invented by Louis Braille in the early 19th century, this tactile writing system has revolutionized the way visually impaired individuals interact with text. Each Braille character consists of six positions that are either raised (representing a dot) or flat (representing a blank), which correspond to specific letters or symbols. U+288A specifically corresponds to pattern 248, which in Braille represents the letter 'J' in English or 'K' in French. The character is essential for creating accessible digital content and ensuring that individuals who rely on braille can access information across different platforms and devices.
