Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ፪ has the Unicode code point U+136A. 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+136A to binary:
00010011 01101010. 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 10101010

Description
The character U+136A, Ethiopic Digit Two, is a crucial component of the Ethiopic numeral system used predominantly in Ethiopia and Eritrea for digital text representation. This digit symbol, representing the number two, plays a vital role in Ethiopian culture and linguistics as it facilitates reading and writing in their unique script, Ge'ez. The Ethiopic Digit Two is part of the Ge'ez abugida, which consists of 256 characters, 18 vowel modifiers, and other special characters, making it an essential building block for written communication. In digital contexts, the Ethiopic Digit Two helps maintain accuracy in text by distinguishing numerical values within Ethiopian languages, where the Arabic numeral system would otherwise be employed. Its usage fosters a connection to cultural heritage while promoting efficient and effective communication in both traditional and modern environments.
