Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡰ has the Unicode code point U+2870. 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+2870 to binary:
00101000 01110000. 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 10110000

Description
U+2870 is a character in the Unicode standard representing Braille Pattern Dots-567, which is a crucial element of digital text in the Braille system. The Braille script, widely used among visually impaired individuals, allows for reading and writing through touch by employing a series of raised dots arranged in specific patterns. Each pattern corresponds to a letter, number, or symbol in the alphabet. In the case of U+2870, it represents one of 6 possible dot configurations for each character in Braille. This encoding enables digital communication and content accessibility, ensuring that visually impaired users can effectively interact with technology, including computers and mobile devices, as well as accessing printed material through braille translators. The Braille system's cultural significance lies in its transformative impact on the lives of blind individuals by facilitating literacy and fostering inclusivity. Its continued evolution reflects a commitment to advancing technology for all users, regardless of visual ability.
