Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ፆ has the Unicode code point U+1346. 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+1346 to binary:
00010011 01000110. 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 10000110

Description
The Unicode character U+1346 is known as ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE TZO. In the realm of digital text, this specific character plays a crucial role in representing the Ethiopic script, which is predominantly used for the Amharic language spoken primarily in Ethiopia and Eritrea. This syllable character forms part of a system of 291 distinct characters that together create the comprehensive Ethiopic writing system. In terms of its usage, U+1346 is employed to construct words and sentences within digital texts, particularly those containing the Amharic language. It aids in maintaining linguistic integrity by facilitating accurate representation of the Ethiopic script in digital platforms. Its significance goes beyond the mere visual depiction, as it helps preserve cultural heritage, promotes communication among Ethiopian and Eritrean speakers, and supports scholarly research on Ethiopian languages and history. When discussing U+1346 or any other character within the Ethiopic script, it's essential to consider both its technical aspects and its broader cultural, linguistic context. The Ethiopic script is unique as it's one of the few writing systems that are fully phonetic, making it easier for learners to decode text. By understanding the role of U+1346 within this system, we gain insight into the complexity and richness of Ethiopian and Eritrean linguistic traditions.
