Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ፭ has the Unicode code point U+136D. 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+136D to binary:
00010011 01101101. 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 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+136D, known as ETHIOPIC DIGIT FIVE, holds a significant place in the Ethiopian language system. In digital text, it serves as a numeral representing the value of five, similar to the way Arabic numerals function in English and many other languages. The Ethiopic script is unique, with its origins tracing back to ancient times. This character, along with other Ethiopic numerals, allows for accurate representation of numerical values within texts written in the Ge'ez language, which is still used in religious contexts and maintains cultural importance in Ethiopia. ETHIOPIC DIGIT FIVE, like other Ethiopic characters, contributes to preserving the rich literary heritage of Ethiopia and facilitating communication in languages that rely on its unique script system.
