Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ፮ has the Unicode code point U+136E. 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+136E to binary:
00010011 01101110. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+136E, known as ETHIOPIC DIGIT SIX, is an essential component of the Ethiopic numeral system. This character holds significant importance in digital text, particularly for languages using the Ge'ez script, such as Amharic and Tigrinya, which are spoken by millions of people in Ethiopia and Eritrea. The Ethiopic numeral system is a base-12 positional numeral system, with each digit representing a power of twelve. In this context, the character U+136E specifically denotes the number 6 in the Ethiopic script. This numeral system has been used for centuries and is deeply ingrained in the cultural, linguistic, and historical aspects of these regions. The use of U+136E ensures accurate representation of numerical values within digital text and supports preservation of the unique linguistic heritage associated with the Ethiopic script.
