Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᎗ has the Unicode code point U+1397. 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+1397 to binary:
00010011 10010111. 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 10010111

Description
U+1397 is the Unicode character code for "ETHIOPIC TONAL MARK HIDET." This character plays a significant role in Ethiopian languages such as Amharic, Tigre, Tigrinya, and others. It serves to mark tonal variations in these languages, indicating changes in pitch for specific syllables within words. Its typical usage in digital text is essential for accurate communication, as tone can drastically alter the meaning of a word or phrase in Ethiopian languages. The Hidet symbol is part of the Ethiopic Extended character set, which was introduced to Unicode in 2013 to support these African languages more effectively. Its inclusion in digital text systems is vital for maintaining cultural integrity and promoting linguistic diversity.
