Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ቻ has the Unicode code point U+127B. 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+127B to binary:
00010010 01111011. 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 10001001 10111011

Description
U+127B is the Unicode character for Ethiopic Syllable CAA, a crucial element in the Ethiopian script. It plays a significant role in digital text representation of the Amharic language, which is spoken by millions in Ethiopia and Eritrea. The use of this syllable character helps maintain linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity when encoding Ethiopic text for digital platforms, preserving the rich history and heritage of these regions. Unicode's extensive character set ensures that diverse scripts like Amharic can be accurately represented in modern computing systems.
