Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ጵ has the Unicode code point U+1335. 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+1335 to binary:
00010011 00110101. 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 10001100 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+1335, known as ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE PHE, is an essential component of the Ethiopic script used for the Ge'ez language, which is widely spoken in Ethiopia and Eritrea. In digital text, this character serves as a fundamental building block for constructing words within the Ethiopic writing system, similar to how individual letters function in Latin-based scripts. U+1335 plays a crucial role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural identity for Ethiopian and Eritrean speakers who rely on this script for written communication. As part of the Ge'ez language, which is considered the liturgical language of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, U+1335 also has significant religious importance. The Ethiopic script is used not only in secular texts but also in religious works such as the Bible and other sacred texts, making U+1335 an indispensable element for maintaining the integrity of these texts. In terms of technical context, Unicode's inclusion of U+1335 reflects its commitment to supporting a wide range of scripts and languages from around the world. This allows for accurate representation and transmission of Ethiopic text on digital platforms, ensuring that speakers of this language can access information and resources in their native script. Overall, U+1335 is a vital character within the Ethiopic script system, contributing to both linguistic expression and cultural preservation for the Ethiopian and Eritrean communities that rely on this writing system. Its presence in digital text ensures the continued use of the Ethiopic script in various contexts, from daily communication to religious texts.
