Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2D7A. 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+2D7A to binary:
00101101 01111010. 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 10110101 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+2D7A is the "BRAILLE PATTERN BLANK (MODIFIER)" and plays a significant role in digital text, especially for visually impaired individuals who rely on Braille to access information. As a modifier, it allows for the creation of customized Braille patterns, which are critical for expressing various symbols, punctuation marks, and special characters within the Braille system. The character U+2D7A does not have any notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context outside of its usage in Braille text encoding, where it is essential for maintaining the accuracy and effectiveness of this vital communication tool.
