Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ጀ has the Unicode code point U+1300. 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+1300 to binary:
00010011 00000000. 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 10001100 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+1300 represents the Ethiopic syllable 'JA' in written Amharic, an Afro-Asiatic Semitic language spoken primarily in Ethiopia and Eritrea. As a part of the Ethiopic script, U+1300 is commonly utilized in digital text for transcribing and typing Amharic words. The Ethiopic script has been used since the 5th century AD, displaying an interesting mix of historical influences from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, Greek and Old South Arabian scripts. In this context, U+1300 plays a significant role in preserving Ethiopia's rich linguistic heritage and facilitating communication among Amharic speakers globally. The Unicode character U+1300 is just one of over 2,000 Ethiopic characters that make up the digital representation of the Amharic language in modern computing systems.
