Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᎉ has the Unicode code point U+1389. 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+1389 to binary:
00010011 10001001. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+1389, also known as ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE FWI, is a crucial element within the Ethiopic script, which primarily serves the Ge'ez language, the liturgical language of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. This particular syllable represents the consonant-vowel sequence 'f-i', and contributes to the formation of words in the Ethiopic writing system. In digital text, U+1389 is employed as a typographic element for rendering Ethiopic language content on devices and platforms that support Unicode standards. Its presence enables accurate representation of the original text without loss or distortion. The ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE FWI plays an important role in preserving cultural, linguistic, and religious heritage by allowing access to ancient texts and facilitating communication within Ethiopian communities who use the Ge'ez language. Overall, U+1389 is a vital character in the Ethiopic script system, providing essential support for accurate digital representation of written material in the Ge'ez language and its applications in religious and cultural contexts.
