Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ጄ has the Unicode code point U+1304. 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+1304 to binary:
00010011 00000100. 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 10000100

Description
U+1304 (ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE JEE) is a significant character in the Ethiopic script, playing a crucial role in digital text representation of the Amharic language, which is spoken primarily in Ethiopia and Eritrea. In digital typography, it is used as part of the Ethiopic Unicode block to enable accurate rendering of Amharic text on various devices and platforms. This character contributes to preserving cultural heritage and promoting linguistic diversity by allowing for proper encoding and display of traditional Amharic literature, religious texts, and modern writings in the language. The adoption of U+1304 within the Unicode Standard demonstrates the ongoing effort to accommodate a wide range of scripts and languages, reflecting the richness of global communication.
