Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⠴ has the Unicode code point U+2834. 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+2834 to binary:
00101000 00110100. 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 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+2834 (BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-356) is an integral component of the Braille system used in digital text for visually impaired individuals. In this context, the BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-356 represents a specific combination of dots within a single cell of a 3x2 matrix. These dots encode different letters or symbols based on their arrangement, facilitating communication and information exchange. The Braille system originated in the early 19th century, with its creation attributed to Louis Braille, a Frenchman who was himself visually impaired. Over time, Braille has become widely adopted as an essential tool for accessibility across multiple languages, enabling individuals with visual impairments to read and write effectively. As digital technology advances, so too does the evolution of Braille representation in text formats, ensuring continued access to information for those with visual challenges.
