Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ጬ has the Unicode code point U+132C. 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+132C to binary:
00010011 00101100. 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 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+132C represents the Ethiopic Syllable Chee (አ), a core component of the Ethiopic script. In digital text, this character serves as a fundamental building block for constructing words in the Amharic language, which is spoken by over 20 million people primarily in Ethiopia and Eritrea. The Ethiopic script is unique in that it is an abugida system, where each syllable is represented by a single letter or character. U+132C contributes to the rich cultural heritage of Ethiopia and its linguistic diversity, showcasing the complexity and beauty of the Amharic language. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+132C ensures that digital information can be accurately encoded, displayed, and exchanged across different platforms and devices, facilitating global communication and preserving the unique characteristics of Ethiopian linguistic traditions.
