Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ኔ has the Unicode code point U+1294. 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+1294 to binary:
00010010 10010100. 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 10010100

Description
U+1294 is the Unicode character code for ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE NEE, a character belonging to the Ethiopic script. This script, also known as Ge'ez or Classical Ethiopian, is primarily used in the Amharic language of Ethiopia and Eritrea. In digital text, U+1294 serves as a building block for forming words within the Ethiopic writing system. The Ethiopic script is an abugida, which means each symbol represents both a consonant and an inherent vowel (usually 'a'). Consequently, characters like ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE NEE need to be combined with other symbols to form syllables, depending on the specific sound or letter sequence they represent. Although the Ethiopic script has been used for religious texts and inscriptions for centuries, it remains an essential tool for modern-day communication, particularly in religious contexts.
