Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⷔ has the Unicode code point U+2DD4. 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+2DD4 to binary:
00101101 11010100. 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 10010100

Description
The Unicode character U+2DD4, ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE XYEE, is a crucial component of the Ethiopic script, which is primarily used for writing Amharic, an Afro-Asiatic language spoken predominantly in Ethiopia and Eritrea. In digital text, this character serves as a fundamental building block for crafting words in the Ethiopic script. The script itself is abugida, meaning that each character represents a consonant with an inherent vowel, making it distinct from alphabetic scripts where every letter represents only a consonant and vowels are usually written separately. ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE XYEE specifically represents the combination of the consonant 'X' and the vowel 'YEE'. This character is essential for accurately conveying meaning in texts, as it contributes to the accurate representation of words in the Ethiopic script, enabling communication and preserving cultural identity within the Amharic-speaking community.
