Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⶡ has the Unicode code point U+2DA1. 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+2DA1 to binary:
00101101 10100001. 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 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+2DA1 represents the Ethiopic syllable 'SSU' (ሲ) in digital text. This character is primarily used in the Ethiopian script, which is an abugida writing system employed for the Amharic language and other Ethiopian Semitic languages. In this system, each character typically represents a consonant with an inherent vowel, and diacritics are used to modify the vowels or indicate vowelless syllables. U+2DA1's significance lies in its role within the Ethiopian script, which has been continuously evolving for over a millennium. This script is of great cultural, linguistic, and historical importance as it has facilitated communication and the transmission of knowledge throughout Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa region.
