Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᎖ has the Unicode code point U+1396. 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+1396 to binary:
00010011 10010110. 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 10010110

Description
U+1396 is the Unicode code point for the Ethiopic Tonal Mark Chiret (ኡ), a character primarily used in the Amharic script of the Ethiopian language. This character plays a significant role in digital text, as it assists with tone marking in Amharic words and helps to convey the intended meaning more accurately. In the Ethiopian context, tone is crucial for distinguishing between different meanings of homophonic words. The Ethiopic Tonal Mark Chiret is one of a series of tonal marks that indicate specific tones or pitch accents in Amharic. These tonal marks are essential in the accurate representation of the Amharic language, as tone can change the meaning of a word entirely. As such, U+1396 is an integral component in digital text processing and encoding for Amharic and Ethiopian linguistic resources.
