Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⶦ has the Unicode code point U+2DA6. 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+2DA6 to binary:
00101101 10100110. 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 10100110

Description
U+2DA6, known as ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE SSO, is a significant character within the Unicode Standard. It primarily serves as a building block for Ethiopic script texts, functioning as a syllable in digital text. Its primary role lies in enabling digital representation of the Ethiopic script, which is predominantly used for the Amharic language, a Semitic language spoken by over 20 million people mainly in Ethiopia and Eritrea. As part of the Ethiopic block of Unicode characters, U+2DA6 contributes to the accurate and consistent representation of Ethiopian texts on various digital platforms, ensuring linguistic integrity while preserving cultural identity.
