Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⡠ has the Unicode code point U+2860. 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+2860 to binary:
00101000 01100000. 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 10100000

Description
U+2860, also known as Braille Pattern Dots-67, is a character used in Unicode for representing a specific configuration of braille dots. In digital text, it typically serves as a building block for creating braille symbols, which are essential for visually impaired individuals to read and write using the tactile writing system called braille. This character has significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance, as it is part of an accessible communication method that enables people with visual impairments to engage in literature, education, and daily interactions more effectively. The Braille Pattern Dots-67 character, along with other Unicode characters representing different braille patterns, helps preserve the accessibility of information for all users, regardless of their sight capabilities.
