Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ፁ has the Unicode code point U+1341. 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+1341 to binary:
00010011 01000001. 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 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+1341 represents the Ethiopic syllable 'TZU', a unique element in the Ethiopian script that is used to write the Amharic language, one of Africa's most ancient languages spoken mainly in Ethiopia. It serves as a building block for constructing words in Ethiopic script, where each letter often carries both consonantal and vowel sounds. The syllable 'TZU' is utilized in digital text processing systems, particularly those handling Ethiopian languages. This character showcases the rich linguistic heritage of Ethiopia, which has been shaped by a multitude of cultures over thousands of years. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures global accessibility and preservation of this unique script for generations to come.
