Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ጁ has the Unicode code point U+1301. 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+1301 to binary:
00010011 00000001. 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 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+1301 represents the Ethiopic syllable 'Ju' in digital text. In its typical usage, this character is used within the Ge'ez script to construct words in Ethiopian languages such as Amharic and Tigrinya. The Ge'ez script, which has been used since the first millennium BC, is of significant cultural importance in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and serves as a model for other Ethiopian languages. U+1301 plays an essential role in preserving and promoting these linguistic traditions, as well as facilitating digital communication in Ethiopian languages. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures accurate representation and encoding of text in these languages on various platforms and devices.
