Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ጨ has the Unicode code point U+1328. 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+1328 to binary:
00010011 00101000. 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 10001100 10101000

Description
U+1328, the ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE CHA character, plays a significant role in digital text by representing a specific phonetic sound within the Ethiopic script, which is used to write Amharic and several other Semitic languages. This script is predominantly used in Ethiopia and Eritrea for written communication. The usage of this character contributes to preserving the rich cultural heritage and linguistic identity of these regions. It has a notable position within Unicode, which aims to provide a unique code point for every character in all writing systems, ensuring accurate representation and interchangeability across digital platforms. The accuracy of U+1328's encoding ensures the faithful representation of the ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE CHA in various text processing applications, while its inclusion in Unicode helps maintain linguistic diversity on the internet and within digital communications.
