Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⶖ has the Unicode code point U+2D96. 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+2D96 to binary:
00101101 10010110. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+2D96, known as ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE GGWE, is an essential component of the Ethiopic script. This script is primarily used for writing Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia and one of the most widely spoken Semitic languages in the world. U+2D96 represents a syllable in the Ethiopic script and plays a crucial role in digital text, allowing accurate representation and transmission of traditional written works in Ethiopian languages via electronic devices. The character is part of the "Ethiopic Extended" block of Unicode, which contains 173 characters representing various consonants, vowels, punctuation marks, and other symbols unique to the Ethiopic script. This block was added to the Unicode Standard in version 6.0, further solidifying its role as a vital tool for preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage of the Ethiopian people through the use of modern digital technology.
