Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⣴ has the Unicode code point U+28F4. 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+28F4 to binary:
00101000 11110100. 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 10110100

Description
U+28F4, also known as Braille Pattern Dots-35678, is a crucial character in the field of digital text for visually impaired individuals who rely on Braille as a means of communication. This character forms part of the widely used Braille system that represents letters, numbers, and symbols using a combination of raised dots arranged in a 3x2 grid pattern. The role of U+28F4 in digital text is to facilitate reading and comprehension for those with visual impairments by providing tactile feedback through touch-sensitive devices or software. In the Braille system, each character corresponds to a unique pattern of dots, with U+28F4 specifically representing the letter 'E' or 'G' in uppercase, depending on the context within a word. The use of Braille Pattern Dots-35678 in digital text has been instrumental in promoting inclusivity and accessibility for the visually impaired community, allowing them to engage with written content independently and effectively.
