Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᎊ has the Unicode code point U+138A. 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+138A to binary:
00010011 10001010. 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 10001010

Description
U+138A is the Unicode code point for 'ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE FWEE', a character primarily used in Ethiopian digital text. It represents the Ethiopic syllable /fwe/, which is a consonant-vowel sequence in the Ge'ez script, an ancient writing system still used for liturgical purposes in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and Eritrean Orthodox Church. The Ge'ez script is unique as it has been adapted to represent multiple Semitic languages, including Amharic, Tigrinya, and Tigre. In digital text, this character plays a crucial role in maintaining linguistic integrity and enabling accurate communication for speakers of these languages.
