Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⢄ has the Unicode code point U+2884. 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+2884 to binary:
00101000 10000100. 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 10100010 10000100

Description
U+2884 is the Unicode code point for Braille Pattern Dots-38, a character used in digital text representation of the Braille system. Developed by Louis Braille in 1821, Braille is a tactile writing system that uses a series of raised dots to represent letters and numbers, enabling visually impaired individuals to read and write. The Braille Pattern Dots-38 is one of the 64 cells in the standard 3x2 matrix (consisting of six dots arranged in two rows of three) used to represent individual letters, numerals, or symbols. In digital text, U+2884 enables the accurate representation and transmission of Braille characters for accessibility purposes across various platforms and devices, ensuring that visually impaired users can enjoy equal access to information and communication.
