Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⷑ has the Unicode code point U+2DD1. 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+2DD1 to binary:
00101101 11010001. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+2DD1, ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE XYU, plays a vital role in the Ethiopic script, which is used to represent Amharic, a Semitic language spoken primarily in Ethiopia and Eritrea. This syllable is part of the larger Ethiopic abugida system, where each letter represents both a consonant and an inherent vowel, with U+2DD1 specifically denoting the syllable 'xyu'. In digital text, this character allows for the accurate representation of Amharic texts, enabling effective communication and preservation of cultural heritage. The ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE XYU character is crucial in linguistic, technical, and cultural contexts, as it contributes to the accurate portrayal of the Ethiopian language in digital environments.
