Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⢼ has the Unicode code point U+28BC. 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+28BC to binary:
00101000 10111100. 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 10111100

Description
U+28BC, also known as BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-34568, is a crucial character in the Unicode Standard, specifically designed for digital text representation. This character represents a braille pattern commonly used in tactile communication among visually impaired individuals. The braille system employs raised dots to represent letters, numbers, and symbols, allowing users to "read" through touch. BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-34568 is particularly important in the context of digital braille translation, as it helps ensure that the tactile experience accurately reflects the original textual content. The Unicode character U+28BC plays a significant role in promoting accessibility and inclusivity for visually impaired users in our increasingly digital world.
