Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⷞ has the Unicode code point U+2DDE. 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+2DDE to binary:
00101101 11011110. 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 10110111 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+2DDE represents the Ethiopic syllable "Gyo". This syllable is a crucial building block in the Ge'ez script, which is an ancient writing system used to write various languages spoken in Ethiopia and Eritrea. In digital text, U+2DDE serves as a character for transcribing phonetic sounds in these languages accurately. The Ethiopic syllable "Gyo" falls under the broader category of Ethiopic Pseudo-Syllables, which are used to represent specific consonant and vowel combinations in the Ge'ez script. U+2DDE is essential for preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage of Ethiopia and Eritrea by enabling digital communication and documentation in their respective languages that utilize the Ge'ez script system.
