Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ፵ has the Unicode code point U+1375. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1375 to binary:
00010011 01110101
. 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 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+1375, also known as ETHIOPIC NUMBER FORTY, is a vital component in the Ethiopic script system. In digital text, it serves to represent the numerical value of forty when used within Ethiopian languages such as Amharic and Tigrinya. The Ethiopic script, also known as Ge'ez or Fidel, is an abugida script that has been in use for over a millennium, and its unique character set allows for the representation of both consonants and vowels. ETHIOPIC NUMBER FORTY plays a significant role in mathematical expressions, numerical data, and counting systems within these languages. It is also used in various cultural, religious, and historical texts to indicate quantities, dates, or other numeric information. U+1375 maintains its importance due to the rich linguistic heritage and cultural significance of Ethiopia, making it a crucial character for accurate digital representation and translation of text within this context.
