Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ት has the Unicode code point U+1275. 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+1275 to binary:
00010010 01110101. 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 10110101

Description
U+1275 is the Unicode code point for ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE TE (፲), a character used in digital text for representing Ethiopic script, also known as Ge'ez or Classical Ethiopian. This syllabary is primarily employed to write Amharic, Tigrinya, and other Semitic languages of the Ethiopian region. U+1275 is part of the Ethiopic Extended Unicode block (U+1260–U+12FF) which was added in 2013 to accommodate additional characters for Ethiopic script beyond the original 1988 Unicode character set. In digital text, U+1275 is used to encode and display the consonantal sound 't' followed by the vowel sound 'e', which together form a phoneme in Ethiopian languages. Its presence in the Unicode standard enables accurate representation of these languages in digital contexts, promoting effective communication and preserving linguistic heritage.
