Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⣠ has the Unicode code point U+28E0. 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+28E0 to binary:
00101000 11100000. 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 10100000

Description
U+28E0 Braille Pattern Dots-678 is a character in the Unicode standard, specifically designed for representing tactile Braille characters used by visually impaired individuals to read digital text. As part of the Braille Dot Matrix (Braille Patterns) encoding system, it consists of six cells, each cell represented by two possible states: filled or unfilled, corresponding to a dot either being present (represented by "1") or not present (represented by "0"). U+28E0 is used in combination with other Braille characters to create words and sentences. The character serves as a building block for creating digital text that can be read by Braille translators, which are devices that convert digital text into tactile Braille output.
