Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⢲ has the Unicode code point U+28B2. 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+28B2 to binary:
00101000 10110010. 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 10110010

Description
U+28B2 is the Unicode character code for Braille Pattern Dots-2568, a crucial element in digital text that facilitates communication for visually impaired individuals. In digital format, this pattern consists of six cells, each representing either a raised or flat dot in physical braille literature. Each cell corresponds to a specific dot position within the standard Braille alphabet or other symbols, enabling users with visual impairments to interpret text through touch. Braille Pattern Dots-2568 is instrumental in maintaining accessibility and inclusion for visually impaired individuals in various digital environments, such as websites, documents, and mobile applications, by adhering to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and other assistive technology standards.
