Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+128E. 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+128E to binary:
00010010 10001110. 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 10001010 10001110

Description
U+128E is a unique Unicode character, representing the Modifier Letter Abelese A (Ȃ). Typically used in digital text, this character plays a vital role in various typography applications, particularly in languages that utilize diacritical marks for accentuation. It is often employed to modify letters in the Abeyté script, which is predominantly used in the Abeyté language spoken by the Abeyté people of Ethiopia. The use of U+128E allows for accurate and culturally appropriate representation of words and phrases in this linguistic context, thereby preserving the integrity and richness of the Abeyté language. Overall, U+128E serves as a valuable tool for enhancing typographic accuracy and cultural sensitivity within digital text environments.
