Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ቼ has the Unicode code point U+127C. 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+127C to binary:
00010010 01111100. 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 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+127C, known as ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE CEE, holds a significant role in the Ethiopian language system. In digital text, it functions as a fundamental building block of words in Ge'ez script, the ancient writing system used primarily for the liturgical language of Ethiopia and Eritrea. The Ge'ez script is unique in that it employs a syllabic writing style, meaning each character represents a consonant-vowel pairing, rather than a single consonant as seen in alphabetic scripts. U+127C represents the syllable "ee," and when combined with other characters, forms words that adhere to the linguistic structure of the Ethiopian languages. The character is essential for accurately transcribing and translating texts within this cultural context, thus preserving the rich literary heritage and religious traditions of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.
