Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ቮ has the Unicode code point U+126E. 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+126E to binary:
00010010 01101110. 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 10001001 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+126E, known as ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE VO, plays a significant role in the representation of the Ethiopic script in digital text. In the Ethiopic alphabet, each character represents a syllable rather than a single letter or sound, which is a unique feature when compared to other writing systems. U+126E is utilized as a base character for forming compound characters in the Ethiopic script, enabling the accurate representation of vowels and syllables that are essential for understanding and communication in Ethiopian languages such as Amharic and Tigrinya. This character contributes to the preservation of Ethiopia's rich linguistic heritage and supports the cultural exchange between Ethiopians and the global digital community.
