Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ኪ has the Unicode code point U+12AA. 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+12AA to binary:
00010010 10101010. 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 10001010 10101010

Description
U+12AA (ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE KI) is a character in the Ethiopic script, which represents the consonant "k" followed by the vowel "i." It plays a significant role in digital text processing and communication in the Ethiopian language. The Ethiopic script, also known as Ge'ez or Fidel, has been used for over 2,000 years, making it one of the oldest scripts still in use today. This script is primarily used to write Amharic, Tigrinya, and other Semitic languages spoken in the Ethiopian region. In digital text processing, U+12AA ensures accurate representation and encoding of written content in these languages, contributing to effective communication and preservation of cultural heritage.
