Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ፇ has the Unicode code point U+1347. 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+1347 to binary:
00010011 01000111. 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 10000111

Description
U+1347, known as ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE TZOA, is a typographic character in the Ethiopic script, which serves as an integral part of the Ge'ez language. The Ge'ez script is one of the oldest writing systems still in use today, with roots dating back to at least the 4th century AD. U+1347 represents the Ethiopic syllable "Tzo," a phonetic unit that consists of the consonant "T" followed by the vowel "o." In digital text, U+1347 helps maintain fidelity to the original language and cultural context when encoding or displaying Ethiopic texts. The Ethiopic script is primarily used in the Amharic language, which is spoken by over 20 million people in Ethiopia and Eritrea, as well as by Ethiopian and Eritrean diaspora communities around the world. U+1347 and other characters in the Ethiopic script are crucial for preserving linguistic integrity and cultural identity within these communities.
