Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⶥ has the Unicode code point U+2DA5. 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+2DA5 to binary:
00101101 10100101. 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 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+2DA5 represents the Ethiopic syllable SSE, which is a fundamental building block of the Ethiopic script used for writing Amharic and other Ethiopian Semitic languages. In digital text, this character serves to encode the specific sound represented by the syllable SSE, enabling accurate representation of spoken language in various Ethiopian linguistic contexts. The Ethiopic script is unique due to its abugida system, where each character represents a consonant with an inherent vowel, and modified characters are used for distinct vowels. Consequently, U+2DA5 plays a crucial role in accurately conveying the nuances of spoken language in the Ethiopian linguistic landscape and facilitating effective communication within these communities.
