Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᎂ has the Unicode code point U+1382. 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+1382 to binary:
00010011 10000010. 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 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+1382, known as the Ethiopic Syllable Mwee, plays a vital role in representing the Ethiopian language. It is primarily utilized in digital text for transcribing words in this ancient Semitic language that has been spoken by millions of people across Ethiopia and Eritrea. The Ethiopic script is unique, as it is abugida-based, meaning each symbol represents a consonant with an inherent vowel 'a'. In the case of U+1382, Mwee, it serves as the building block for forming various syllables in the Ethiopian language. The character's precise usage is dependent on the context provided by other characters in a word, and it carries cultural significance in Ethiopia due to its deep-rooted history and use in religious texts such as the Ge'ez Bible. It is important to note that this character relies heavily on the presence of other characters to accurately convey meaning, emphasizing its importance in digital text representation for the Ethiopian language.
