Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ፏ has the Unicode code point U+134F. 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+134F to binary:
00010011 01001111. 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 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+134F, known as ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE FWA, plays a significant role in the Ethiopic script used for written communication in the Amharic language, which is widely spoken in Ethiopia and Eritrea. This syllable block serves as the foundation of this unique abugida writing system, where each character represents a consonant-vowel sequence. U+134F specifically represents the FWA syllable, composed of the base letter 'FA' followed by the vowel sign 'WA'. In digital text, U+134F is utilized to accurately represent and convey the intended meaning within Ethiopic scripts. Its presence in Unicode ensures that users can access and engage with Ethiopic language resources, fostering cultural preservation and linguistic expression for Ethiopian speakers worldwide.
