Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᎏ has the Unicode code point U+138F. 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+138F to binary:
00010011 10001111. 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 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+138F, known as ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE PWE, is a crucial component of the Ethiopic script. As a syllabic unit, it forms part of the Ge'ez language, an ancient Semitic language predominantly used in Ethiopia for religious and historical texts. In digital text, U+138F plays a significant role as it allows for accurate representation of Ethiopian language documents, thereby preserving cultural heritage and facilitating communication among Ethiopian speakers worldwide. The character's position within the Unicode standard (U+1300–U+134F) underscores its importance in supporting typography and linguistic diversity across various digital platforms. With a growing recognition of the need for inclusive language representation, U+138F serves as an essential tool in bridging communication gaps between different linguistic communities.
