Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⣌ has the Unicode code point U+28CC. 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+28CC to binary:
00101000 11001100. 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 10001100

Description
U+28CC, or Braille Pattern Dots-3478, is a character used in the Unicode standard to represent a specific configuration of dots within the braille system. This configuration is commonly employed in digital text, serving as an essential tool for visually impaired individuals who rely on tactile feedback from braille devices to read and comprehend written information. In this context, Braille Pattern Dots-3478 is part of a larger set of characters that together form the complete braille alphabet, numerals, punctuation, and various symbols. The use of these dots follows a standard pattern of six positions, with each position either containing a raised dot or remaining unmarked. This pattern of dots not only facilitates reading but also supports communication and education for visually impaired people in numerous languages worldwide.
