Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡴ has the Unicode code point U+2874. 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+2874 to binary:
00101000 01110100. 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 10100001 10110100

Description
U+2874, or Braille Pattern Dots-3567, is a critical element in the realm of digital text for visually impaired individuals. As part of the Unicode Standard, this character plays an essential role in enabling communication through digital platforms for those who rely on braille as their primary method of reading and comprehension. The pattern represents the arrangement of six dots within a 3x2 grid in the context of braille literature, with the specific configuration of dots being 1-5-6-4. This dot layout contributes to creating various letters, numbers, and symbols in braille, which is derived from the tactile writing system for individuals who are blind or have low vision. By facilitating access to information through digital text, U+2874 contributes significantly to the cultural, linguistic, and technical inclusivity of diverse populations worldwide.
