Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ፰ has the Unicode code point U+1370. 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+1370 to binary:
00010011 01110000. 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 10001101 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+1370, known as ETHIOPIC DIGIT EIGHT, plays a significant role in the Ethiopic numeral system, which is unique to the Amharic language, primarily spoken in Ethiopia. This digit is used extensively within digital text for numbering and quantification purposes, as it enables users to express numbers up to eight in the traditional Ethiopian script. The Ethiopic numerals are based on a geometric form of writing that traces its origins back to ancient times, making U+1370 a crucial element in preserving cultural heritage and promoting linguistic diversity. In digital text, U+1370 ensures accurate representation of numbers for the Amharic language, which in turn contributes to the overall efficiency and functionality of modern Ethiopian communication systems.
