Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ፍ has the Unicode code point U+134D. 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+134D to binary:
00010011 01001101. 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 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+134D, known as ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE FE, holds a significant position in the Ethiopic script. Primarily used in digital text, this character represents a specific syllable block within the Ethiopic abugida system. It is important to note that the Ethiopic script is a unique writing system used for the Amharic and other Ethiopian Semitic languages. The ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE FE plays a crucial role in representing the phonetic structure of these languages, which are read from left to right. The abugida system means that each character represents both a consonant and an inherent vowel sound, allowing for concise representation of words. As such, U+134D contributes to the accurate transcription of these languages in digital text formats, enabling their preservation and continued usage in the modern world.
