Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᎎ has the Unicode code point U+138E. 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+138E to binary:
00010011 10001110. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+138E, known as ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE PWEE, holds a significant position within the Ethiopic script. In digital text, this character serves as a single component of words written in the Ethiopian language, which is primarily spoken in Ethiopia and Eritrea. The Ethiopic script, also known as Ge'ez or Muzzama, is an ancient abugida writing system that has been used for over 1,700 years. U+138E contributes to the formation of syllables in this language, which primarily uses a consonant-vowel (CV) structure. The use of the Ethiopic script, including characters like U+138E, has deep cultural and linguistic significance, as it represents one of the oldest known writing systems in Africa. Furthermore, its inclusion in Unicode facilitates digital communication and representation of the Ethiopian language across various platforms and devices worldwide. In summary, U+138E is a crucial component within the Ethiopic script, contributing to the formation of syllables and supporting the preservation and evolution of the Ethiopian language and culture.
