Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ጣ has the Unicode code point U+1323. 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+1323 to binary:
00010011 00100011. 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 10001100 10100011

Description
The Unicode character U+1323 is known as the ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE THAA. This specific character plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the Ethiopian language system. In this context, it is used to represent a specific phoneme or sound within the language. The Ethiopic script is a unique and ancient writing system that has been used for over 2000 years, primarily in the Ethiopian region. This script is part of the Abugida family, which consists of an alphabet of 36 letters combined with 14 consonantal syllables, each represented by a single character in Unicode. The usage of U+1323 helps maintain the cultural and linguistic heritage of Ethiopia by providing accurate digital representation of their language.
