Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⠲ has the Unicode code point U+2832. 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+2832 to binary:
00101000 00110010. 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 10100000 10110010

Description
U+2832 is a character within the Unicode Standard, specifically designated as Braille Pattern Dots-256. This particular Braille pattern is essential in digital text for visually impaired individuals who rely on braille for reading and communication. It represents a specific arrangement of six dots, arranged in a 3x2 grid, which can convey different letters or symbols in the braille system. The Braille Pattern Dots-256 is vital in promoting inclusivity and equal access to information for people with visual impairments, as it enables them to engage with written content in their preferred format. The character's importance lies in its role within the broader braille alphabet, which has been refined over time to facilitate reading and writing for those with visual disabilities, thus playing a significant part in linguistic inclusivity and cultural accessibility.
