Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⶠ has the Unicode code point U+2DA0. 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+2DA0 to binary:
00101101 10100000. 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 10110110 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+2DA0 represents the Ethiopic syllable "SSA" in digital text. This specific character plays a significant role in the Ethiopic script, which is primarily used to transcribe the Ge'ez language, an ancient Semitic language that has been widely used for religious purposes by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. The Ethiopic syllable "SSA" is part of a larger system of 256 unique characters that make up the complete Ethiopic script. This script's design and usage are deeply rooted in the rich cultural heritage and history of Ethiopia, where it has been employed for centuries for writing various languages like Amharic, Tigrinya, and Tigre, among others. The accurate representation of these characters is essential for maintaining the linguistic integrity of Ethiopian languages in digital text formats, ensuring effective communication and preservation of cultural identity.
