Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0A57. 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+0A57 to binary:
00001010 01010111. 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 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+0A57 is a member of the Ethiopic script, specifically representing the sound "a" with tonal stress. In digital text, it plays an important role in transcribing and translating texts within the Ethiopian language family. This includes languages such as Amharic, Tigrinya, and others spoken in the region. As a part of the Ethiopic script, U+0A57 is derived from the Ge'ez script, an ancient Semitic language that served as the liturgical and administrative language for the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, as well as the Aksumite Empire. The Unicode character U+0A57 represents one of the many unique features of the Ethiopic script, which is written from left to right, in contrast to most other scripts that are read from left to right or top to bottom.
