Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ቒ has the Unicode code point U+1252. 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+1252 to binary:
00010010 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 10001001 10010010

Description
The character U+1252, designated as ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE QHI, holds a significant position in the realm of Ethiopic (Ge'ez) script, an ancient writing system predominantly used for Amharic, Tigrinya, and other Semitic languages spoken in Ethiopia and Eritrea. Typically employed in digital text, this Unicode character facilitates accurate representation of Ethiopic syllables in the modern digital age. The Ethiopic script is unique due to its use of abugida system, where each consonant represents a syllable containing both a consonant and an implied vowel. In this context, ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE QHI specifically contributes to the articulation of the syllable 'qhi,' comprising of the consonant 'q' with an implied vowel 'i.' As a crucial component in Ethiopic typography, U+1252 plays a vital role in preserving cultural and linguistic heritage, enabling seamless communication among speakers of Ethiopian languages in written form.
