Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ፒ has the Unicode code point U+1352. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1352 to binary:
00010011 01010010
. 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 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+1352 represents the Ethiopic syllable PI (ኖ), which is an integral component of the Ethiopic script used for writing Amharic, Tigrinya, and other Semitic languages in the Ethiopian region. In digital text, this character serves as a fundamental building block for constructing words and phrases within these languages, enabling accurate representation and communication of their unique phonetic and linguistic characteristics. The Ethiopic script is notable for its distinct abugida system, where each syllable is represented by a single consonant-vowel sequence, and U+1352 plays a crucial role in this system as the "PI" syllable. Additionally, the Ethiopic script has a rich history dating back to the 4th century AD, reflecting its significance in preserving cultural heritage and facilitating communication within these linguistic communities.
