Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ፑ has the Unicode code point U+1351. 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+1351 to binary:
00010011 01010001. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+1351, known as the Ethiopic Syllable Pu, plays a significant role in digital text by representing a specific syllable within the Ethiopic script. This script is predominantly used for writing Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia and Eritrea, as well as other related languages. U+1351 forms part of the Ethiopic Extended Unicode block, which contains 280 characters designed to facilitate accurate representation of the rich linguistic diversity in the region. In digital communication, this character helps maintain cultural accuracy by enabling users to exchange text in their native languages without distortion or loss of meaning. While it may not be widely recognized outside its linguistic context, U+1351 and other Ethiopic characters are essential for preserving cultural heritage and promoting effective communication within the communities that rely on these scripts.
