Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ጽ has the Unicode code point U+133D. 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+133D to binary:
00010011 00111101. 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 10111101

Description
The character U+133D (ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE TSE) is a crucial element in the Ethiopic script, which is primarily used for writing Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia. In digital text, this character serves as a fundamental building block of words in the Ethiopic syllabary, representing the sounds 'tse' or 'sse.' The Ethiopic script is unique in its use of a modified version of the Ge'ez alphabet, which was adapted from the Ancient South Arabian scripts and further developed over centuries. This character contributes to the rich linguistic heritage of Ethiopia and its cultural significance, as it facilitates communication, education, and literature within Amharic-speaking communities worldwide. The accurate representation of U+133D in digital text is crucial for preserving and promoting this vital aspect of Ethiopian culture and identity.
