Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⷐ has the Unicode code point U+2DD0. 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+2DD0 to binary:
00101101 11010000. 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 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+2DD0 is known as the ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE XYA. In its typical usage within digital texts, this specific character holds significant importance in the Ethiopian language and script system. It's part of a larger set of characters called the Ge'ez script, which is an abugida writing system used to write the Ethiopian languages such as Amharic, Tigre, Tigrinya, and several others. Each character in this script represents a consonant-vowel syllable combination, with U+2DD0 representing the unique syllable Xya. Despite its relatively obscure status outside of Ethiopia and Eritrea, the Ge'ez script and characters like U+2DD0 remain an integral part of the linguistic and cultural heritage of these regions. As such, their accurate representation and usage in digital text are crucial for maintaining and promoting this rich tradition.
