Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⶮ has the Unicode code point U+2DAE. 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+2DAE to binary:
00101101 10101110. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+2DAE, known as ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE CCO, is a vital component of the Ethiopian script system. In digital text, it primarily serves to represent the initial consonant of a syllable in the Ethiopic writing system, which is used for various languages such as Amharic and Tigrinya. As part of the Ge'ez script, CCO plays an essential role in conveying meaning in Ethiopian texts. This character is indispensable for preserving the rich cultural heritage and linguistic nuances of these languages. In a technical context, U+2DAE follows the Unicode Standard, ensuring compatibility across platforms and enabling accurate digital representation of Ethiopian texts.
