Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡘ has the Unicode code point U+2858. 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+2858 to binary:
00101000 01011000. 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 10011000

Description
U+2858 is the Unicode code point for Braille Pattern Dots-457, a character used in digital text representation of the Braille script. Braille is a tactile writing system used by individuals with visual impairments to read and write through touch. In the Braille Pattern Dots-457, each dot position has a binary value assigned, where raised dots represent '1' and unraised dots represent '0'. This particular pattern is composed of three rows of two dots in a matrix, creating a total of six positions that can be either raised or unraised. These positions correspond to the binary representation of each character, allowing Braille text to be read by touch devices designed for visually impaired users. In terms of cultural and linguistic context, Braille scripts vary depending on the language, with different sets of characters used for different languages. This makes U+2858 an essential component in digital communication for millions of people worldwide who rely on Braille for their literacy needs.
