Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᎐ has the Unicode code point U+1390. 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+1390 to binary:
00010011 10010000. 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:

Description
The character U+1390, known as ETHIOPIC TONAL MARK YIZET, plays a crucial role in the Ethiopic script, which is used to represent the Ge'ez language, an ancient Semitic language historically spoken in Ethiopia and Eritrea. In digital text, this tonal mark serves as an indicator of tone for specific syllables within the Ethiopic script, allowing for a greater degree of expressiveness in the written language. U+1390 is particularly important in the Ethiopian cultural context because it reflects the linguistic and phonological intricacies of the Ge'ez language, which has been instrumental in shaping Ethiopian literature, religious texts, and cultural history. As a technical aspect, this character is part of the Unicode Standard, enabling seamless integration of Ethiopic text into various digital platforms and applications while preserving its linguistic integrity.
