Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ሚ has the Unicode code point U+121A. 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+121A to binary:
00010010 00011010. 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 10001000 10011010

Description
The Unicode character U+121A represents the Ethiopic Syllable Mi (ሮ), which is a vital component of the Ethiopic script, also known as Ge'ez or Classical Ethiopian. This syllable is predominantly used in digital text to transcribe and translate various words and phrases within the Ethiopic language, which serves as both a liturgical and classical language for the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and the Eritrean Tewahedo Church. U+121A plays a crucial role in preserving the rich linguistic heritage of these religious and cultural communities by facilitating accurate and seamless text representation in digital platforms. The use of the Ethiopic script, which includes the Ethiopic Syllable Mi, reflects the importance of maintaining linguistic continuity while adapting to modern communication technologies.
