Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡔ has the Unicode code point U+2854. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2854 to binary:
00101000 01010100
. 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 10010100

Description
U+2854, or Braille Pattern Dots-357, is a character used in the Unicode standard for representing individual cells within braille patterns. In digital text, this character typically represents the third dot from the left in the top row of a six-dot braille cell. As an integral component of the widely-used braille writing system, U+2854 enables visually impaired individuals to read and write using tactile feedback through touch. Braille has played a significant role in cultural and linguistic contexts by empowering blind and visually impaired people to engage with the world around them more effectively. The character's inclusion in the Unicode standard supports its use across various platforms, applications, and devices, facilitating accessibility and fostering inclusivity in digital communication.
