Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ፈ has the Unicode code point U+1348. 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+1348 to binary:
00010011 01001000. 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 10001101 10001000

Description
U+1348 is the Unicode code point for the ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE FA character. In digital texts, this character plays a significant role in representing phonetic sounds in the Ethiopic script. The Ethiopic script is primarily used for writing Amharic, an Afro-Asiatic language spoken by millions of people across the Ethiopian highlands and Eritrea. U+1348 falls under the Unicode block titled "Ethiopic" (U+1200–U+1244 and U+134D–U+135A), which includes other characters that are fundamental to Ethiopian languages. The use of U+1348 in digital text helps maintain linguistic integrity and ensures accurate representation of the Ethiopic script, thus enabling effective communication among speakers of these languages.
