Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⢐ has the Unicode code point U+2890. 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+2890 to binary:
00101000 10010000. 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 10100010 10010000

Description
U+2890 Braille Pattern Dots-58 is a character in the Unicode standard that represents one of the 63 cells of a standard 6x2 grid used in Braille, a tactile writing system for blind and visually impaired individuals. As part of the Braille Dot Pattern series (U+2800 to U+28FF), this character serves as a building block for creating various letters, numbers, and punctuation marks in Braille alphabets. Its primary role is within digital text, particularly when converting written material into Braille format or vice versa, enabling visually impaired users to access information through touch-based reading devices. The character contributes to the cultural, linguistic, and technical significance of Braille by facilitating communication and literacy in communities where visual access is limited.
