Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ጩ has the Unicode code point U+1329. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1329 to binary:
00010011 00101001
. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+1329 represents the Ethiopic syllable "Chu" (ኦ), which is a component of the Ethiopic script, also known as Ge'ez. This script is primarily used to write the official language of Ethiopia and Eritrea, Amharic, as well as other Semitic languages spoken in the region. In digital text, U+1329 is utilized to accurately represent this syllable in a variety of applications, including word processing software, web content, and print materials. The Ethiopic script is unique in its use of abugida system, which combines the features of an alphabet and a syllabary, making U+1329 an essential component for accurate text rendering in these languages.
