Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᎌ has the Unicode code point U+138C. 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+138C to binary:
00010011 10001100. 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 10001100

Description
U+138C, or ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE SEBATBEIT PWA, is a character found within the Ethiopic (Ge'ez) script, a writing system used primarily for the Amharic language in Ethiopia. In digital text, this character represents a specific syllable within the Ge'ez script and plays a significant role in rendering accurate representations of the Ethiopian language. The script is notable for its linguistic complexity and historical significance, as it has been used continuously since the 4th century AD. While not widely recognized or utilized outside of Ethiopia and Eritrea, U+138C serves as an important element in maintaining the cultural heritage and linguistic traditions of these regions.
