Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⢬ has the Unicode code point U+28AC. 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+28AC to binary:
00101000 10101100. 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 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+28AC, known as BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-3468, is a crucial component in the Braille system. This character is used to represent letters, numbers, symbols, and punctuation marks in digital text. It plays a significant role in enabling visually impaired individuals to read and interpret written content by converting it into a tactile format through a series of raised dots arranged in a 3x2 matrix pattern. The Braille system was developed in the early 19th century by Louis Braille, and since then, it has been widely adopted as an essential tool for visually impaired people worldwide. U+28AC is one of over 1,000 Braille patterns included in Unicode, which helps ensure consistent representation and compatibility across various devices, platforms, and software applications that serve the needs of this diverse community.
