Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ኃ has the Unicode code point U+1283. 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+1283 to binary:
00010010 10000011. 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 10001010 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+1283 (ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE XAA) is a vital component of the Ethiopic script, which is used to represent the languages spoken in Ethiopia and Eritrea, including Amharic, Tigrinya, and several others. In digital text, this character serves as the building block for constructing words in these languages. The Ethiopic script is unique as it consists of a set of 256 basic characters (letters), which are combined to form syllables, allowing for efficient and expressive communication. U+1283 specifically represents the initial sound "x" followed by the vowel "aa." It is essential to note that Ethiopic scripts are written from left to right, unlike many other writing systems such as Arabic or Hebrew. This character plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting the rich linguistic and cultural heritage of the Ethiopian and Eritrean people. In the digital realm, accurate representation of U+1283 is vital for proper communication, translation, and archiving of texts in these languages.
