Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ጐ has the Unicode code point U+1310. 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+1310 to binary:
00010011 00010000. 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 10001100 10010000

Description
The Ethiopic script, also known as Ge'ez, is an ancient writing system used primarily for the Amharic language in Ethiopia. U+1310 (ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE GWA) is a Unicode character representing the syllable 'gwa' in the Ethiopic script. In digital text, it serves as a building block for constructing words and sentences in the Amharic language, which is spoken by millions of people in Ethiopia and Eritrea. As a component of the Ge'ez script, U+1310 holds cultural significance, being deeply rooted in the religious and literary history of Ethiopia. This script has been used for centuries to write texts of religious, historical, and scientific importance. The character U+1310, like other characters in the Ethiopic script, is composed of a series of horizontal lines and strokes with distinct shapes representing different vowels and consonants. It's essential to note that accurate representation of these characters is crucial for maintaining the integrity of digital texts in Amharic and other Ge'ez-based languages.
