Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⶭ has the Unicode code point U+2DAD. 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+2DAD to binary:
00101101 10101101. 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 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+2DAD, known as the ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE CCE, plays a significant role in Ethiopian digital text by serving as one of the 31 Ethiopic syllable characters used to represent spoken sounds in the Ethiopic script. This unique script is primarily utilized for writing Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia, and several other Ethiopian Semitic languages such as Tigrinya, Tigre, and Ge'ez. As a part of the Ethiopic syllable set, ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE CCE is employed to transcribe consonant-vowel combinations essential for accurately conveying meaning in written texts. Its usage contributes to maintaining the rich cultural heritage and linguistic diversity of the Ethiopian language family while facilitating communication and information exchange through digital media platforms.
