Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡐ has the Unicode code point U+2850. 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+2850 to binary:
00101000 01010000. 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 10010000

Description
U+2850, or Braille Pattern Dots-57, is a character within the Unicode Standard that plays a vital role in digital text for individuals who are visually impaired. This unique character represents one of the six positions in a cell of the Braille script, which allows users to read and write text through touch. The Braille system, invented by Louis Braille in 1824, has been adapted over time to accommodate various languages, including English, French, Spanish, and many others. In digital formats, characters such as U+2850 enable the translation of traditional text into a tactile format that can be read using braille displays or other assistive technology. By incorporating these characters into digital texts, publishers and developers contribute to a more inclusive environment for individuals with visual impairments, fostering greater accessibility and promoting the principles of universal design.
