Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⶫ has the Unicode code point U+2DAB. 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+2DAB to binary:
00101101 10101011. 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 10101011

Description
The Unicode character U+2DAB, known as the Ethiopic Syllable CCAA, is a specialized symbol used within the Ethiopic script. This script is primarily employed for writing Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia and Eritrea, and other related Semitic languages. In digital text, U+2DAB serves as a fundamental building block for constructing words in these languages. Each syllable symbol represents a specific sound unit, and when combined with other Ethiopic syllables, it helps to form words that carry meaning within the context of these linguistic communities. U+2DAB is part of the Ethiopic Extended Unicode block (U+13000 – U+134FF), which was added in Unicode version 5.1 to support a broader range of Ethiopic text, thereby enhancing digital communication and preservation of cultural heritage.
