Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ቾ has the Unicode code point U+127E. 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+127E to binary:
00010010 01111110. 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 10111110

Description
U+127E is a Unicode character that represents the Ethiopic Syllable Co (ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE CO). This character plays a significant role in digital text by serving as an essential component of the Ethiopic script, which is used primarily for writing Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia. The Ethiopic script, also known as Ge'ez or Fidel, is one of the oldest alphabets globally, with its origins dating back to the 4th century AD. U+127E specifically represents a specific sound or syllable in the Ethiopic script, which is used to build words when combined with other Ethiopic syllables and consonants. As part of Unicode, it allows for consistent encoding and representation of text across different digital platforms and applications, ensuring accurate communication and understanding of content by users worldwide.
