Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ር has the Unicode code point U+122D. 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+122D to binary:
00010010 00101101. 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 10101101

Description
U+122D is an Ethiopic syllable "Re", which is a character from the Ethiopic script. In digital text, it plays a significant role in representing and transcribing the Ethiopic language. The Ethiopic script, also known as Ge'ez or Fidel, is an abugida writing system that has been used for more than 2,000 years to write various Ethiopian Semitic languages like Amharic, Tigrinya, and Tigre. Each character in this script represents a consonant-vowel cluster, with U+122D specifically representing the syllable "Re". The Ethiopic script has unique features, including its square shape and the use of diacritics to indicate vowels, making it distinct from other scripts. It is also significant in terms of cultural, linguistic, and religious contexts as it has been used not only for secular texts but also for religious purposes, such as transcribing sacred texts like the Bible and various liturgical works in Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity. In digital text processing, U+122D is crucial for maintaining accuracy and consistency when translating or displaying content in languages that use the Ethiopic script.
