Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ጕ has the Unicode code point U+1315. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1315 to binary:
00010011 00010101
. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+1315 represents the ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE GWE in digital text. This syllable is part of the Ethiopic script, which is primarily used for writing Amharic, a Semitic language spoken by over 20 million people in Ethiopia and Eritrea. In digital communication, ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE GWE plays a crucial role as it helps to represent the diverse range of phonemes and syllables that make up the Amharic language. The character contributes to the accurate representation of this ancient script in modern technology platforms, thereby preserving its rich linguistic heritage for future generations.
