Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⷌ has the Unicode code point U+2DCC. 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+2DCC to binary:
00101101 11001100. 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 10110111 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+2DCC, also known as the ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE KYEE, is a crucial element in digital text, specifically within the Ethiopian script. As part of the Ge'ez abugida, this symbol represents the consonant-vowel combination "Ka" in the Ethiopian language, which plays an integral role in transcribing and translating texts accurately. Its typical usage is to form the foundation for constructing words within the Ethiopian orthography system. Furthermore, it contributes to preserving and promoting Ethiopian cultural heritage through its use in digital media and communication, thereby facilitating a connection between users worldwide who interact with and learn about Ethiopian culture and language. In terms of technical context, U+2DCC is classified under the 'Ethiopic Extended' block, emphasizing its unique and specialized role within Unicode character set.
