Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ች has the Unicode code point U+127D. 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+127D to binary:
00010010 01111101. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+127D represents the Ethiopic syllable CE (ኸ), which is a fundamental component of the Ethiopic script used in the Ge'ez language. This script, also known as Fidel, is written from right to left and has been employed for various purposes, including religious texts, literature, and administrative documents in Ethiopia and Eritrea since ancient times. The Ethiopic syllable CE (ኸ) plays a crucial role in forming words and phrases within the Ge'ez language, which has significantly influenced the development of other Semitic languages such as Amharic, Tigre, and Tigrinya. In digital text, U+127D enables accurate representation and display of Ethiopic script, thereby facilitating communication and preserving cultural heritage in the digital age.
