Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0A0B. 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+0A0B to binary:
00001010 00001011. 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:
11100000 10101000 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+0A0B (CHARACTER 0A0B) holds a unique position in the world of digital typography. It represents the "KAKIE SYMBOL" character in the Ethiopic script, which is primarily used to write Amharic, a Semitic language spoken predominantly in Ethiopia and Eritrea. This character's role is significant as it serves to denote an archaic form of writing used in some religious texts, making it vital for researchers, scholars, and historians studying the Ethiopian culture and its linguistic evolution. While U+0A0B may seem obscure, it reflects the diverse range of scripts and symbols incorporated into Unicode to preserve and promote global linguistic diversity.
