Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⶽ has the Unicode code point U+2DBD. 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+2DBD to binary:
00101101 10111101. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+2DBD (ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE CCHE) plays a crucial role in the Ethiopic script, which is primarily used for writing Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia. In digital text, this character serves as a building block for forming words and phrases in the Ethiopic writing system. The Ethiopic script is an abugida, which means it utilizes a consonant-vowel system to represent sounds. U+2DBD represents the consonant "CC" (Ce) followed by the vowel "HE." The character's usage is limited to digital text representation and does not have any specific cultural or linguistic significance on its own. However, it contributes to the accurate rendering of the Ethiopic language in various software applications and online platforms, thereby preserving the cultural heritage and linguistic richness of Ethiopia.
