Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ጺ has the Unicode code point U+133A. 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+133A to binary:
00010011 00111010. 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 10111010

Description
The character U+133A, known as ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE TSI, plays a crucial role in the Ethiopian script system. This digital text symbol is an essential component of the Ge'ez script, which has been employed for writing various Semitic languages such as Amharic and Tigre in Ethiopia. In its typical usage, U+133A represents the consonantal sound "T" followed by the semivowel "S," allowing writers to create a wide range of words within the Ethiopian linguistic context. As a part of the Ge'ez script, ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE TSI contributes significantly to the rich cultural heritage and history of Ethiopia, where it has been used for religious texts, inscriptions, and literature throughout the centuries. The character's unique design, based on ancient scripts like Pahlavi and Greek, highlights its technical intricacy, making U+133A a significant element in preserving the linguistic traditions of Ethiopia.
