Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ፬ has the Unicode code point U+136C. 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+136C to binary:
00010011 01101100. 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 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+136C, also known as ETHIOPIC DIGIT FOUR, holds a significant role in digital text representing the numeral '4' within the Ethiopic script system. This specific symbol is utilized predominantly for written communication in Ethiopia and Eritrea, where the Ethiopic or Ge'ez script is traditionally employed. The Ge'ez script, which has been in existence for over two millennia, is an abugida writing system with its origins traced back to ancient times. U+136C contributes to the maintenance and promotion of linguistic diversity across digital platforms, allowing for accurate representation of numerical values within Ethiopian contexts.
