Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡼ has the Unicode code point U+287C. 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+287C to binary:
00101000 01111100. 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 10100001 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+287C, Braille Pattern Dots-34567, is an essential component of the Braille system used for written communication among visually impaired individuals. This character represents a specific arrangement of six dots, arranged in a grid pattern with three rows and two columns, where each dot can either be raised or not raised to form individual Braille characters. The combination of these dots allows for encoding various alphabetic and numerical symbols in the Braille script. In digital text, U+287C serves as a unique identifier that helps assistive technologies, such as braille displays and embossers, accurately interpret and render the intended Braille character. Its role is crucial in promoting accessibility and inclusivity by enabling the visually impaired to read, write, and engage with digital content independently.
