Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⢂ has the Unicode code point U+2882. 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+2882 to binary:
00101000 10000010. 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 10000010

Description
U+2882 Braille Pattern Dots-28 is a character used in the Unicode standard to represent a specific dot configuration in Braille. In digital text, this character serves as a building block for creating braille representations of letters, numbers, and punctuation marks. The character represents two adjacent dots within one cell of a six-dot braille pattern, with the leftmost dot being solid and the rightmost dot having an open center. This particular configuration is used to form certain letters in the English Braille alphabet. U+2882 is essential for enabling text accessibility for visually impaired individuals who use braille as a means of reading and communication. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard demonstrates the commitment to making digital content accessible to all users, regardless of their physical abilities.
