Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⢒ has the Unicode code point U+2892. 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+2892 to binary:
00101000 10010010. 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 10010010

Description
U+2892 Braille Pattern Dots-258 is a character in the Unicode standard that represents one of the 63 possible patterns used in the Braille writing system. This system, which enables blind or visually impaired individuals to read and write using touch, consists of six-dot configurations representing letters, numbers, and symbols. Each pattern corresponds to a unique combination of raised dots arranged in a 3x2 grid. In digital text, U+2892 is used to describe the specific Braille pattern Dots-258, which serves as a building block for various Braille characters. By utilizing this character and its variations, adaptive technologies such as Braille displays can accurately render written content for those with visual impairments. The Braille system has a significant cultural, linguistic, and technical impact, as it enables access to written information and fosters literacy in the visually impaired community worldwide.
