Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ፕ has the Unicode code point U+1355. 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+1355 to binary:
00010011 01010101. 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 10001101 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+1355 represents the Ethiopic syllable 'PE' (ሸ) in digital text. This character is used primarily within the Ethiopian orthography system, which utilizes a unique abugida-based script for writing the Ethiopian languages, such as Amharic, Tigre, and Tigrinya. As part of an abugida, the U+1355 character functions as a base letter that carries inherent vowel sounds (in this case, 'E' or 'EE'). The user of this character would need to consider the additional consonantal characters that are necessary for constructing full syllables. In terms of cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts, the use of U+1355 is significant as it contributes to the rich history of Ethiopian literature, which dates back several centuries. This character also plays a crucial role in modern-day digital communication within the Ethiopian community and facilitates the accurate representation of their language online.
