Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ቍ has the Unicode code point U+124D. 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+124D to binary:
00010010 01001101. 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 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+124D represents the Ethiopic syllable 'Qwe' (ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE QWE) in digital text. This specific glyph is integral to the Amharic script, which is the standard written form of the Ethiopian languages such as Amharic, Tigrinya, and other Semitic languages spoken in Ethiopia and Eritrea. It serves a crucial role in transcribing vowel sounds for consonants within these languages. In digital communication and text processing, U+124D enables the accurate representation of Ethiopian linguistic structures that incorporate syllabic elements, thus preserving cultural identity and linguistic integrity across various platforms.
