Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ይ has the Unicode code point U+12ED. 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+12ED to binary:
00010010 11101101. 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 10001011 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+12ED represents the Ethiopic syllable 'ye' (ኤ) in digital text. This Ethiopic script is primarily used for writing Amharic, one of the major Semitic languages spoken in the African nation of Ethiopia. In its role as a syllabary, each character signifies a specific consonant-vowel combination, with U+12ED corresponding to the syllable 'ye.' The use of such characters enables accurate and efficient representation of the Amharic language in digital communication, documents, and publications. As Ethiopia's official written language, Amharic holds significant cultural and linguistic importance, reflecting the country's rich history and heritage. Consequently, the accurate encoding of Amharic text, including characters like U+12ED, is crucial for maintaining the integrity of this language in digital contexts.
