Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⠔ has the Unicode code point U+2814. 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+2814 to binary:
00101000 00010100. 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 10100000 10010100

Description
U+2814 (Braille Pattern Dots-35) is a character in the Unicode standard that represents one of the 63 possible Braille patterns used to encode letters and symbols in digital text for visually impaired individuals. In Braille, each pattern consists of six raised or embossed dots arranged in a grid with two columns and three rows. The Braille Pattern Dots-35 corresponds to the letter "Y" in English Braille. Its typical usage is within digitally encoded documents that are accessible for those using Braille reading devices, such as Braille displays or embossers. As an important element of accessible communication, U+2814 helps bridge the gap between visual and tactile information, promoting inclusivity and equal access to written content for individuals with visual impairments.
