Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⶨ has the Unicode code point U+2DA8. 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+2DA8 to binary:
00101101 10101000. 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 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+2DA8, known as ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE CCA, is a crucial component of the Ethiopic script. This script is primarily used for writing Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia and Eritrea. In digital text, this specific character serves as a building block to create various syllables within the Ethiopic script system. U+2DA8 contributes to the versatility and richness of the Ethiopic script by enabling writers to represent a wide range of phonetic possibilities in Amharic language. In terms of linguistic context, this character reflects the unique features of the Ge'ez script, which has been used since ancient times and is still influential in modern Ethiopian languages. Overall, U+2DA8 plays an indispensable role in maintaining and promoting the cultural identity and linguistic diversity of the Ethiopian people through digital text representation.
