Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ሑ has the Unicode code point U+1211. 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+1211 to binary:
00010010 00010001. 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 10001000 10010001

Description
U+1211 is a specific character in the Unicode Standard, which is the global standard for encoding character data. This includes most of the characters used in written languages worldwide. The character U+1211 represents ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE HHU in digital text. This particular syllable is part of the Ethiopic script, also known as Ge'ez or Classical Ge'ez, which is one of the oldest alphabets still in use today. The Ethiopian script is used primarily for Amharic, a Semitic language spoken by over 20 million people in Ethiopia and Eritrea. In the digital world, characters such as U+1211 allow for accurate representation of text in these languages, ensuring clear communication and preserving cultural heritage.
