Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ፉ has the Unicode code point U+1349. 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+1349 to binary:
00010011 01001001. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+1349 represents the Ethiopic syllable "FU" (ሲ) in the Ge'ez script. This syllabary is predominantly used for writing Amharic, Tigrinya, and other Semitic languages in Ethiopia and Eritrea. In digital text, U+1349 enables accurate representation of these languages, facilitating communication, literature, and cultural preservation. The Ethiopic script has a rich history dating back to the 4th century AD, making it one of the oldest extant writing systems in the world. This script is unique as it employs abugida principles, where each character represents a consonant with an inherent vowel, and diacritics are used to modify the vowel or indicate tone. The use of U+1349 and other Ethiopic characters in digital text is essential for maintaining cultural identity and fostering linguistic diversity on the internet.
