Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᎙ has the Unicode code point U+1399. 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+1399 to binary:
00010011 10011001. 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 10011001

Description
The Unicode character U+1399, known as the Ethiopic Tonal Mark Kurt, plays a significant role in the digital representation of the Ethiopic (Ge'ez) script, which is primarily used for Amharic and other Ethiopian Semitic languages. This tonal mark is applied above specific characters to indicate the tone of a syllable or word within an Ethiopian language. In this context, U+1399 contributes to accurate phonetic representation and pronunciation guidance in textual content. The use of this character reflects the rich linguistic and cultural heritage of Ethiopia, which is deeply rooted in its ancient Ge'ez script tradition. As digital communication and text processing continue to evolve, characters like U+1399 become increasingly important for preserving and promoting linguistic diversity across the world.
