Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⶉ has the Unicode code point U+2D89. 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+2D89 to binary:
00101101 10001001. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+2D89 represents the Ethiopic syllable 'NYOA'. In digital text, this character is utilized to transcribe the Ethiopic script, which is used primarily for writing Amharic, a Semitic language spoken in Ethiopia and Eritrea. The Ethiopic script, also known as Ge'ez, has been in use since the 4th century AD and has a rich history in the region. U+2D89 plays an essential role in digital communication, enabling accurate representation of the Amharic language, which is one of the major languages spoken by over 20 million people worldwide. The Ethiopic script has evolved from the ancient Ge'ez script, reflecting the linguistic and cultural heritage of the region, and its continued use in modern communication highlights the importance of preserving these unique scripts for future generations.
