Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⶪ has the Unicode code point U+2DAA. 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+2DAA to binary:
00101101 10101010. 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 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+2DAA, known as the ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE CCI, holds a significant position within the Ethiopic script. In digital text, it typically functions as a building block for constructing words in the Ethiopian languages that use this script, such as Amharic, Tigrinya, and others. The Ethiopic script is unique, being abugida-based, which means each character represents both a consonant and an inherent vowel. Thus, U+2DAA primarily serves as a constituent part of multi-syllabic words in these languages, carrying the consonantal value "ch" or "jj," depending on its position within a word. The Ethiopian writing system is deeply ingrained in the region's cultural and historical context, and U+2DAA is an essential component in preserving and promoting this linguistic heritage in digital platforms.
