Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⶴ has the Unicode code point U+2DB4. 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+2DB4 to binary:
00101101 10110100. 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 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+2DB4, known as the Ethiopic Syllable ZZEE (ዄ), plays a significant role in digital text representation of the Ethiopic script. As part of the Ge'ez script, which is used to write the Ethiopian language family and has historical significance in the religious texts of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, U+2DB4 represents a specific syllable within this ancient writing system. The character contributes to the accurate representation of digital text that reflects cultural, linguistic, and religious aspects of the Ethiopian people. Its precise usage in digital text enables clear communication and preservation of these important historical and contemporary texts for future generations.
