Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ፴ has the Unicode code point U+1374. 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+1374 to binary:
00010011 01110100
. 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 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+1374, ETHIOPIC NUMBER THIRTY, is an essential component of the Ethiopic numeral system, a unique script used primarily for writing Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia and Eritrea. In digital text, this character serves to represent the number 30 in the Ethiopic numeral system, which has roots dating back to ancient times. The Ethiopic numeral system is a base-20 (vigesimal) system, with each digit representing a power of 20 rather than 10 as in the more widely known decimal system. This character plays a significant role in various applications such as digital text processing, translation services, and linguistic research related to Ethiopian languages. The ETHIOPIC NUMBER THIRTY character ensures accurate representation of numerical values within the context of Ethiopic writing, enabling users to engage with texts in their original form without loss of meaning or cultural nuance.
