Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᎆ has the Unicode code point U+1386. 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+1386 to binary:
00010011 10000110. 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 10001110 10000110

Description
U+1386, the ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE BWEE character, is an integral component of the Ethiopic script, which is primarily used for writing Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia. In digital text, it serves as a building block for forming words and phrases within this unique orthography system. The Ethiopic script, also known as Ge'ez or Fidel, is an abugida writing system that has been in use for more than 2,000 years, with its roots dating back to the Aksumite Empire. In addition to Amharic, it is also employed for writing several other Semitic languages spoken in Ethiopia and Eritrea. As a crucial element of this ancient script, U+1386 helps maintain linguistic diversity and cultural heritage in these regions. Its accurate representation in digital text ensures the preservation and promotion of the rich history and tradition associated with the Ethiopic script.
