Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⷃ has the Unicode code point U+2DC3. 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+2DC3 to binary:
00101101 11000011. 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 10000011

Description
The character U+2DC3, also known as ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE QYAA, is a crucial element in the Ethiopic script. In digital text, this Unicode character serves to represent a specific syllable within the Ethiopic language system. The Ethiopic script is a unique abugida (a writing system that represents each syllable with a single character), primarily used for writing Amharic, Tigrinya, and other Semitic languages spoken in Ethiopia and Eritrea. U+2DC3's role in digital text is to accurately represent the QYAA syllable, contributing to the proper representation of words and phrases within these languages. The use of this character in digital texts ensures accurate communication and understanding across linguistic and cultural contexts. As a typography expert, it is essential to appreciate the significance of U+2DC3 in maintaining the integrity and accessibility of Ethiopic languages on digital platforms.
