Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⶕ has the Unicode code point U+2D95. 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+2D95 to binary:
00101101 10010101. 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 10010101

Description
U+2D95 is the Unicode character for Ethiopic Syllable GGWEE (ፕ). This syllable is an essential component of the Ethiopian orthography system, which is primarily used in Ethiopia and Eritrea. The Ethiopian writing system, also known as Ge'ez or Fidel, has its roots in ancient times and is one of the oldest writing systems still in use today. U+2D95 represents the syllable "Gg" followed by the semivowel "w", which when combined with other Ethiopic syllables, forms words in the Ethiopian languages such as Amharic, Tigrinya, and Tigre. The character is often used in digital text for linguistic research, translation, and communication within Ethiopia and among Ethiopian diaspora communities worldwide.
