Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⶤ has the Unicode code point U+2DA4. 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+2DA4 to binary:
00101101 10100100. 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 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+2DA4, known as ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE SSEE, is a significant component of the Ethiopic script. In digital text, it typically serves as a building block for forming words in the Ge'ez language, which has been the literary and liturgical language of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church for centuries. As a phonetic symbol, ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE SSEE represents a specific sound in the Ethiopic script, contributing to the unique linguistic characteristics of the Amharic and Tigrinya languages. The Ethiopic script is a 250-character abugida system, which means that each character has an inherent vowel sound. This characteristic differentiates it from other abjads, such as the Hebrew and Arabic scripts. U+2DA4 plays a crucial role in preserving Ethiopian cultural identity, providing a digital representation of this ancient writing system for modern communication and archival purposes. Its usage emphasizes the importance of linguistic and cultural preservation in our increasingly digitized world.
