Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0A50. 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+0A50 to binary:
00001010 01010000. 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 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+0A50 (CHARACTER 0A50) holds a significant role in digital text, particularly within the realm of language encoding. This specific character represents a character from the Ethiopic script, which is an abugida writing system used predominantly for the Amharic and Tigrinya languages spoken in Ethiopia and Eritrea. Its typical usage involves representing the consonant-vowel sequence 'A', which is essential for constructing words and phrases within these languages. The Ethiopic script, including U+0A50, has been an integral part of African linguistic and cultural heritage, playing a crucial role in preserving and transmitting knowledge across generations. As more digital platforms continue to evolve and support diverse scripts, the character U+0A50 plays a critical role in enabling accurate representation and communication within Ethiopian and Eritrean communities worldwide.
