Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ጮ has the Unicode code point U+132E. 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+132E to binary:
00010011 00101110. 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 10101110

Description
The character U+132E (ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE CHO) is a significant component of the Ethiopic script, which has been in use for centuries to represent the Semitic languages spoken in Ethiopia and Eritrea. In digital text, this Unicode character plays a crucial role in accurately transcribing and displaying the nuances of these languages. While most syllable characters in the Ethiopic script are derived from Ge'ez, an ancient Semitic language, the origins of CHO remain unclear. Despite its mysterious etymology, U+132E has become indispensable to the accurate representation and communication of various Ethiopian languages. Today, it is used extensively in digital documents, software applications, and websites that cater to audiences familiar with these languages, contributing to the rich cultural heritage and linguistic diversity of the region.
