Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡸ has the Unicode code point U+2878. 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+2878 to binary:
00101000 01111000. 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 10111000

Description
U+2878 is the Unicode character code for Braille Pattern Dots-4567, a key component in digital text representation of the Braille script. This particular pattern represents the number "9" in Braille, a tactile writing system used primarily by visually impaired individuals to read and write. Developed in the early 19th century by Louis Braille, this method employs raised dots as a form of text representation, enabling users with visual impairments to interpret written information through touch. In digital contexts, Braille Pattern Dots-4567 is often utilized in electronic braille displays, software, and mobile applications designed for accessibility purposes. It plays an essential role in promoting inclusivity and equal access to information for individuals with vision impairment.
