Description

The Unicode character U+134A represents the ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE FI in digital text. This syllable is a fundamental component of the Ethiopic script, which is primarily used for writing Amharic, an Afro-Asiatic language spoken predominantly in Ethiopia and Eritrea. In digital communications and documentation, U+134A serves as a crucial element to accurately transcribe and convey the rich linguistic heritage of the Ethiopian region. The use of this character is deeply rooted in cultural and linguistic contexts, contributing to the preservation and development of Amharic literature, religious texts, and daily communication.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4938 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+134A. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+134A to binary: 00010011 01001010. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10001010
