Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ን has the Unicode code point U+1295. 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+1295 to binary:
00010010 10010101. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+1295, also known as ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE NE, plays a significant role in the Ethiopic script, which is predominantly used for writing Amharic and other Semitic languages. In digital text, this character typically serves to represent the vowel 'e' or the diphthong 'aw' when combined with consonants in the Ethiopic script. The Ethiopic script, which originated around the 4th century AD, is unique for its abugida system where each character represents a syllable rather than just a single sound. This character and other characters in the Ethiopic script are essential in preserving and transmitting cultural heritage, literature, religious texts, and contemporary works in Amharic and related languages. Due to its importance in digital text representation of Ethiopic languages, U+1295 contributes significantly to maintaining linguistic diversity and facilitating global communication and understanding.
