Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0A43. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+0A43 to binary:
00001010 01000011
. 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 10101001 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+0A43 holds significant importance in the realm of typography and digital text. With its code point being 0A43, this character is a part of the Ethiopic script, which is predominantly used for writing Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia. The Ethiopic script is unique as it is abugida-based, meaning each letter represents both a consonant and an inherent vowel. U+0A43 specifically represents the character 'ə', which is known as "Amha" in Amharic. This character's typical usage is found in digital text where Amharic language content is being created or displayed, including websites, documents, and software applications. In the context of Ethiopian culture and linguistics, this character aids in preserving and promoting the rich literary heritage of the Amharic language and its various dialects, ensuring effective communication within Ethiopia's diverse communities. The accurate representation of U+0A43 in digital text is vital for maintaining cultural identity and facilitating global understanding of Ethiopian culture and history.
