Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᎒ has the Unicode code point U+1392. 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+1392 to binary:
00010011 10010010. 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 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+1392, ETHIOPIC TONAL MARK RIKRIK, plays a vital role in the Ethiopic script system. It is primarily used to denote tonal variations in spoken Ethiopian languages, particularly those employing the Ethiopian tone system. This unique tonal mark helps distinguish words with identical consonant-vowel combinations but different meanings based on their respective tones. The Rikrik diacritic, as it is also known, contributes to the richness and expressiveness of these languages by adding an additional layer of nuance to their phonetic structure.
