Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ፯ has the Unicode code point U+136F. 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+136F to binary:
00010011 01101111. 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 10101111

Description
The Unicode character U+136F, known as ETHIOPIC DIGIT SEVEN, plays a significant role in the Ethiopian script system. In digital text, it is typically used to represent the number seven in the Ethiopic (Ge'ez) script, which is an abugida writing system predominantly used for the Amharic language and other related languages in the region. The Ethiopian script has been in use since the 4th century AD, making it one of the oldest known writing systems in Africa. The ETHIOPIC DIGIT SEVEN character is an essential component in the Ethiopic numeral system, which is based on a combination of symbols from the abugida and Arabic numerals. This unique numbering system facilitates mathematical calculations and expressions in written texts, including religious scriptures, historical documents, and contemporary works in Ethiopia and Eritrea. The accurate representation of U+136F in digital text ensures the preservation of this rich cultural heritage and enables effective communication in the Ethiopian linguistic context.
