Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⶬ has the Unicode code point U+2DAC. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2DAC to binary:
00101101 10101100
. 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 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+2DAC, known as ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE CCEE, is an essential component of the Ethiopic script. In digital text, it serves as a building block for constructing words in the Amharic language, one of the major languages spoken in Ethiopia. The Amharic script is unique in its structure, consisting of a series of syllabic characters that together represent spoken sounds. As an individual syllable character, ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE CCEE carries linguistic significance and cultural importance within the Ethiopian community. It helps to preserve the rich history and heritage of the Amharic language, facilitating communication among speakers and contributing to the diverse tapestry of human expression. In a technical context, U+2DAC is part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code point for every character in every written language, ensuring accurate representation and exchange of text across digital platforms.
