Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ፀ has the Unicode code point U+1340. 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+1340 to binary:
00010011 01000000. 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 10001101 10000000

Description
U+1340 is the Unicode character code for ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE TZA, a unique symbol within the Ethiopic script that is widely used in digital text. The Ethiopic script is an abugida writing system used predominantly in Ethiopia and Eritrea, with its origins dating back to the 4th century AD. In this script, each letter represents a consonant with a basic vowel sound (a), making U+1340 part of a larger system that allows for various combinations to represent different syllables and words. Its typical usage is in Ethiopian and Eritrean languages such as Amharic and Tigrinya, where it helps convey the nuanced sounds and phonetics crucial to these languages' grammar and vocabulary. The character plays a significant role in preserving cultural heritage, facilitating communication within these communities, and enabling accurate translations for broader audiences.
