Description

The Unicode character U+135A represents the Ethiopic syllable "Fya" in the Ethiopic script. In digital text, it is typically used for representing phonetic and orthographic variations of words in the Ethiopian languages that use this script, such as Amharic or Tigrinya. The Ethiopic script, which is also known as Ge'ez or Fidel, is one of the oldest writing systems still in use today. It has been the liturgical script for several Semitic languages, including Ge'ez itself, and it is the basis for modern Ethiopian scripts such as Amharic and Tigrinya. In addition to its role in religious texts, the Ethiopic script is also used for various secular purposes, making U+135A a vital component in representing the rich linguistic and cultural heritage of Ethiopia and its neighbors.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4954 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+135A. 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+135A to binary: 00010011 01011010. 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 10011010
