Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ራ has the Unicode code point U+122B. 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+122B to binary:
00010010 00101011. 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 10001000 10101011

Description
U+122B is the Unicode character code for "ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE RAA", a character used in the Ethiopian script. It represents a single sound element that can be combined with other syllables to form words within the Amharic and related Ethiopian Semitic languages, such as Tigrinya and Tigre. In digital text, U+122B is used to accurately represent these sounds in various software applications and platforms. As Ethiopia has a rich and ancient writing system with its own unique orthography, characters like U+122B play an essential role in preserving and promoting the linguistic identity of these languages in the digital era.
