Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⶼ has the Unicode code point U+2DBC. 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+2DBC to binary:
00101101 10111100. 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 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+2DBC, known as ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE CCHEE, plays a vital role in the Ethiopic script, which is primarily used for writing Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia. In digital text, this syllable serves to represent a specific phonetic sound or combination of sounds within the Ethiopic writing system. The ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE CCHEE character contributes to the accurate representation and transcription of spoken Amharic in written form, thus facilitating communication and preserving the cultural heritage of Ethiopia. As a crucial component of an ancient and rich linguistic tradition, U+2DBC is indispensable for users and systems working with Ethiopian languages that utilize the Ethiopic script.
