Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡲ has the Unicode code point U+2872. 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+2872 to binary:
00101000 01110010. 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 10100001 10110010

Description
U+2872, also known as Braille Pattern Dots-2567, is a character used in Unicode for representing the 25th Braille pattern out of 256 possible patterns in digital text. This specific pattern is widely utilized in Braille systems around the world due to its unique dot arrangement that corresponds with a particular letter or symbol in the written language. The Braille system, developed by Louis Braille in the early 19th century, has been an essential tool for visually impaired individuals, enabling them to read and write through tactile means. U+2872 serves as an important component in digital text communication, assisting users with visual impairments to access information more easily across various electronic devices.
