Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0DD5. 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+0DD5 to binary:
00001101 11010101. 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:
11100000 10110111 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+0DD5 holds significant importance in digital typography, specifically within the realm of Ethiopian script. This particular character is a unique symbol that plays a pivotal role in the written language of Ethiopia, Eritrea, and other regions where Amharic and related languages are spoken. The Ethiopian syllabary, which forms an essential part of these languages, comprises 240 characters, each having its distinct function and representation. Among them, U+0DD5 serves as a crucial element that aids in the formation of words and phrases. In terms of cultural and linguistic context, Ethiopia's rich history and heritage are deeply rooted in its ancient script, which has evolved over centuries. The Amharic language, being one of the major languages spoken by millions of people in Ethiopia and Eritrea, has a significant influence on the nation's literature, religion, and education systems. As such, U+0DD5 and other characters from the Ethiopian syllabary contribute to preserving and advancing these cultural aspects. Technically speaking, Unicode aims to represent every character used in written languages across the globe. Introduced as a universal encoding standard in 1991, it has since facilitated seamless communication and data exchange among various platforms, applications, and devices. U+0DD5 falls under this comprehensive system, ensuring its recognition and proper usage in digital environments.
