Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ፩ has the Unicode code point U+1369. 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+1369 to binary:
00010011 01101001. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+1369, known as the Ethiopic Digit One, plays a pivotal role in the representation of numerical values within the Ethiopic script. This script is predominantly used for writing Amharic, an Afro-Asiatic language spoken by millions of people across Ethiopia and Eritrea. As part of the Ethiopic numerals system, U+1369 represents the number one in written form, facilitating counting and numerical communication in various contexts such as literature, commerce, and daily life. Its usage is deeply rooted in Ethiopian culture, where it reflects linguistic heritage and historical traditions. The character also demonstrates the capacity of Unicode to accommodate diverse writing systems, enabling global digital communication and text processing while preserving cultural identity and linguistic nuance.
