Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⣲ has the Unicode code point U+28F2. 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+28F2 to binary:
00101000 11110010. 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 10110010

Description
U+28F2, or Braille Pattern Dots-25678, is a character in the Unicode standard that represents one of the 256 possible patterns used in the braille writing system. Braille is a tactile writing system employed primarily by individuals with visual impairments, allowing them to read and write through touch rather than sight. Each braille character is represented by a combination of six dots, arranged in a 3x2 grid. The specific arrangement of these dots corresponds to letters, numbers, or symbols in the standard alphabet. In digital text, U+28F2 serves as an indicator for the Braille Pattern Dots-25678, ensuring accurate translation and rendering of braille content across different platforms and devices. Its use is crucial in creating inclusive digital environments that cater to individuals with visual impairments, fostering accessibility and equal opportunity in communication and information exchange.
