Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0A12. 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+0A12 to binary:
00001010 00010010. 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 10010010

Description
U+0A12 is a character within the Ethiopic script, specifically belonging to the Ethiopic Extended B block of characters. This Unicode code point is used in digital text to represent the "መ" character, which in Ethiopic script represents an uppercase M. The Ethiopic script, also known as Ge'ez or Fidel, is an abugida writing system that has been used for over 1,500 years in Ethiopia and Eritrea. It serves as the basis for several modern Ethiopian languages, such as Amharic, Tigrinya, and Tigre. U+0A12 plays a crucial role in representing the Ethiopic language, facilitating communication and preserving cultural heritage. In digital texts, this character is often utilized to display proper names, place names, or words from the Ethiopian languages that use this script. As a key component of an ancient and enduring writing system, U+0A12 contributes significantly to the rich linguistic landscape of Ethiopia and its neighboring regions.
