Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᎋ has the Unicode code point U+138B. 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+138B to binary:
00010011 10001011. 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 10001011

Description
The character U+138B, Ethiopic Syllable Fwe, is a crucial component of the Ethiopic script, also known as Ge'ez or Classical Ge'ez. It is part of a larger group of syllabic characters used for writing Amharic and other Ethiopian Semitic languages, such as Tigrinya and Tigre. In digital text, this character serves the vital role of representing the consonant-vowel combination "Fw" in these languages. The Ethiopic script is unique due to its historical significance and continued use in religious texts, including the ancient Ge'ez liturgical language of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. As an essential character within this script system, U+138B enables accurate representation and communication in these languages, preserving their cultural heritage and linguistic identity for future generations.
