Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⠘ has the Unicode code point U+2818. 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+2818 to binary:
00101000 00011000. 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 10100000 10011000

Description
U+2818 Braille Pattern Dots-45 is a character within the Unicode standard that represents one of the six-dot configurations used in braille systems for tactile communication. Its typical usage is found in digital text where it serves as an essential element for visually impaired individuals to read written content through touch. This particular configuration (dots-45) signifies the letter "N" in the English alphabet within the Braille ASCII system, which allows users of braille systems to communicate using a tactile method that is analogous to printing letters and words with ink on paper. The cultural, linguistic, and technical context of U+2818 is rooted in the accessibility it provides for individuals who are blind or have low vision, enabling them to read and engage with digital content without reliance on auditory aids.
