Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⶶ has the Unicode code point U+2DB6. 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+2DB6 to binary:
00101101 10110110. 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 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+2DB6 represents the Ethiopic syllable "ZZO" in the Ge'ez script, an ancient and historical writing system primarily used for the Ethiopian language family. In digital text, this character serves a crucial role in enabling accurate representation of traditional Ethiopian literature, religious texts, and modern writings that employ the Ethiopic script. The Ethiopian language family, which includes Amharic, Tigrinya, and Tigre among others, has a unique syllabary structure with 360 characters, each representing a consonant-vowel or vowel-only combination. U+2DB6 plays an important part in preserving the rich cultural heritage of these languages by ensuring their correct representation in digital formats and platforms.
