Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ጂ has the Unicode code point U+1302. 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+1302 to binary:
00010011 00000010. 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 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+1302 represents the Ethiopic syllable 'JI' in digital text. It is a fundamental element of the Ethiopic script, which is primarily used for writing Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia and Eritrea. In this context, the character plays a crucial role in rendering phonetic distinctions in the Amharic language. The Ethiopic syllable 'JI' is not only significant for linguistic purposes but also holds cultural relevance as it contributes to the preservation of the rich and diverse Ethiopian literary tradition. Furthermore, the inclusion of this character in digital text encoding systems like Unicode ensures accurate representation and accessibility of Amharic and other Ethiopic-based languages in modern information technology environments.
