Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ፸ has the Unicode code point U+1378. 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+1378 to binary:
00010011 01111000
. 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 10111000

Description
U+1378 is a character from the Ethiopic numerals script, which is a unique and ancient system of writing numbers used primarily in the Amharic language spoken in Ethiopia and Eritrea. This character specifically represents the number seventy in the Ethiopic numeral system. The Ethiopic numerals are believed to have been developed around the 6th century AD, and they remain in use today, although the modern Ethiopian calendar system employs Arabic numerals for written notation. In digital text, U+1378 serves as a crucial component of the Ethiopic script, allowing users to accurately represent numerical values in their content when working with languages that utilize this numeral system.
