Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡨ has the Unicode code point U+2868. 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+2868 to binary:
00101000 01101000. 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 10101000

Description
U+2868, also known as Braille Pattern Dots-467, is a character within the Unicode standard that represents a specific configuration of dots in the Braille writing system. In digital text, this character is primarily used to encode information for visually impaired individuals who use Braille for reading and writing. The pattern consists of six raised dots arranged in a grid, with the dot positions corresponding to numeric values from 1 through 6. Each numeric value represents a distinct letter or symbol in the Braille alphabet. Braille Pattern Dots-467 is part of the Braille alphabet's standardized system, which has been widely adopted across various languages and cultures, including English, French, Spanish, and many others. By using Unicode character U+2868 in digital text, authors can ensure that their content is accessible to users who rely on Braille displays for reading.
