Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⣂ has the Unicode code point U+28C2. 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+28C2 to binary:
00101000 11000010. 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 10000010

Description
U+28C2, known as Braille Pattern Dots-278, plays a vital role in digital text by facilitating communication for individuals with visual impairments. This Unicode character is part of the Braille System, an essential tool that translates written language into tactile patterns. These patterns are read through touch by those who cannot perceive information visually, enabling them to access and comprehend a wide range of texts, including literature, technical documents, and educational materials. Braille Pattern Dots-278, along with the other 63 Braille Pattern characters, forms part of the comprehensive and adaptable system that has revolutionized the lives of countless individuals by bridging the gap between sighted and visually impaired communities.
