Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⠢ has the Unicode code point U+2822. 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+2822 to binary:
00101000 00100010. 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 10100010

Description
The character U+2822, also known as BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-26, is a crucial element in the Braille system used by visually impaired individuals for reading and writing. This unicode character represents a pattern of six dots arranged in a 3x2 grid, where each dot can either be present (represented by "1") or absent (represented by "0"). The Braille system uses these patterns to represent letters, numbers, symbols, and punctuation marks. In digital text, BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-26 is used as part of the Unified English Braille (UEB) code, enabling electronic devices and software to render and interpret braille content accurately. This unicode character plays a vital role in ensuring that digital resources are accessible to visually impaired users and promoting inclusion in the digital world.
