Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⶾ has the Unicode code point U+2DBE. 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+2DBE to binary:
00101101 10111110. 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 10111110

Description
U+2DBE, known as ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE CCHO, is a unique character in the Unicode standard, specifically designed for digital text representation in the Ethiopic script. Its primary role is to serve as a building block in forming Ethiopic syllables within digital texts, facilitating accurate and reliable communication of the Ethiopian languages. These languages, including Amharic, Tigre, and Tigrinya, utilize an abugida system where each character represents a consonant-vowel pairing. U+2DBE is part of the Ethiopic Extended Unicode block (U+13000 to U+134FF), which was introduced in version 5.0 of the Unicode standard, released in August 2006, to accommodate additional Ethiopian characters beyond the original Ethiopic range. This extended character set enables comprehensive support for Ethiopian languages and allows for the accurate digital representation of their diverse linguistic features. By promoting cultural, linguistic, and technical accuracy, U+2DBE plays a significant role in preserving and enhancing the rich tradition of Ethiopian writing systems in the digital age.
