Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡄ has the Unicode code point U+2844. 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+2844 to binary:
00101000 01000100. 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 10000100

Description
U+2844 is the Unicode code point for Braille Pattern Dots-37, a crucial character in digital text representation of Braille. This character serves as an essential element in assisting visually impaired individuals to read written content through touch, as each Braille pattern corresponds to specific letters or symbols. The Braille system was developed by Louis Braille in the early 19th century and has since become a widely adopted method for literacy among blind and visually impaired people worldwide. Unicode's inclusion of these characters, such as U+2844, is vital for promoting accessibility and facilitating communication across various digital platforms, ensuring that Braille users can effectively utilize technology alongside sighted individuals.
