Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᎑ has the Unicode code point U+1391. 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+1391 to binary:
00010011 10010001. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+1391 represents the ETHIOPIC TONAL MARK DERET in digital text. This unique symbol serves a crucial role in the Ethiopic script, which is primarily used for writing Amharic and other Semitic languages spoken in Ethiopia and Eritrea. The Ethiopic tonal mark deret functions as an indicator of vowel length or tone in these languages. In written text, it appears above a consonant to denote a long vowel sound following the consonant. As a vital component of the Ethiopic script, the U+1391 character contributes to accurate pronunciation and clear communication in Amharic and related Ethiopian languages. While less familiar to speakers of other scripts, its significance within the Ethiopic system underscores the rich linguistic diversity and heritage found in these languages.
