Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⣰ has the Unicode code point U+28F0. 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+28F0 to binary:
00101000 11110000. 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 10100011 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+28F0, known as BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-5678, plays a crucial role in digital text by representing one of the six possible patterns in the Braille system for the letter "E". This alphabetical representation facilitates communication and information access for individuals with visual impairments. Braille is a tactile writing system that uses a series of raised dots to represent letters, numbers, and symbols, enabling users to read using touch rather than sight. The BRAILLE PATTERN DOTS-5678 specifically represents the letter "E" in the Braille alphabet, which consists of six patterns (also known as cells) for each letter or symbol. This character, along with others in the Braille system, contributes significantly to inclusivity and accessibility in digital communication, literature, and education by empowering visually impaired individuals to read and write independently.
