Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⷒ has the Unicode code point U+2DD2. 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+2DD2 to binary:
00101101 11010010. 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 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+2DD2, Ethiopic Syllable XYI, is a key component of the Ethiopic script, which is primarily used for writing the Amharic language in the African country of Ethiopia. In digital text, this character serves as a building block for constructing words and phrases within the Ethiopic script system. The Ethiopic script, also known as Ge'ez or Fidel, is an abugida script that has been used for over 2,000 years. It is the oldest writing system in Africa and holds significant cultural, historical, and linguistic value. U+2DD2 plays a vital role in preserving Ethiopia's rich literary heritage and allowing modern users to compose text in Amharic using digital devices. As an essential syllable character within the Ethiopic script, U+2DD2 helps facilitate accurate communication and expression of ideas in the Amharic language across the global digital landscape.
