Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⷎ has the Unicode code point U+2DCE. 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+2DCE to binary:
00101101 11001110. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+2DCE, also known as ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE KYO, plays a significant role in digital text related to the Ethiopic script. As part of this ancient writing system primarily used for the Ge'ez language, which is a Semitic language predominantly spoken in Ethiopia and Eritrea, the character serves as a phonetic building block. The Ethiopic syllable KYO (Unicode U+2DCE) is typically composed of two parts: the syllabic character "K" and the semivowel "Y." This script's unique structure allows it to express both consonants and vowels within a single character, providing an efficient way to represent the Ge'ez language. As a result, U+2DCE contributes to the rich cultural heritage of Ethiopia and Eritrea by facilitating digital communication in their respective languages.
