Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+124F. 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+124F to binary:
00010010 01001111. 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:
11100001 10001001 10001111

Description
U+124F is a typographical character in the Unicode Standard, representing an individual glyph in digital text. It serves as a code point for a specific symbol or letter from various writing systems around the world. In this case, U+124F corresponds to the "ኹ" character, which is part of the Ge'ez script used in Ethiopian languages such as Amharic and Tigrinya. This script has been historically significant for its use in religious texts, particularly for the translation of the Bible into Ge'ez by the early Christian Church in Ethiopia. The Ge'ez script is also utilized in modern times for liturgical purposes in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church. As an essential component of these writing systems, U+124F contributes to the rich cultural heritage and linguistic diversity found within Ethiopia and its neighboring countries.
