Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ኝ has the Unicode code point U+129D. 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+129D to binary:
00010010 10011101. 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 10011101

Description
The character U+129D, known as ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE NYE, plays a vital role within the Ethiopic script. This Unicode character is used in digital text to represent the Ethiopic syllable "nye," which is composed of two elements - the consonant 'N' and the vowel 'Ye.' In the Ethiopic script, each character typically combines with the adjacent character to form a single semantic unit. U+129D contributes to the linguistic diversity of Ethiopia, where it is primarily used for writing Amharic, the official working language of Ethiopia and one of the languages of Eritrea. The Ethiopic script itself has a history spanning over 2,000 years, making it one of the oldest written scripts still in use today.
