Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ፔ has the Unicode code point U+1354. 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+1354 to binary:
00010011 01010100. 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 10010100

Description
U+1354 is the Unicode character code for 'ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE PEE'. This character forms part of the Ethiopic script, which is primarily used to write Amharic and several other Ethiopian Semitic languages such as Tigrinya and Tigre. It represents a consonantal sound followed by a specific vowel or group of vowels in Ethiopian languages. In digital text, it serves to render Ethiopian language texts with the correct syllabic structure and pronunciation. Its usage is essential for accurate representation of these languages in digital platforms and software, enabling global communication and information exchange. The Ethiopic script is one of only a few abugidas (a combination of abjad and syllabary) used in the world today, where each character represents a consonant-vowel sequence rather than just a single sound or symbol. This unique characteristic sets it apart from other scripts like the Latin alphabet, which separates vowels and consonants entirely.
