Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0A7D. 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+0A7D to binary:
00001010 01111101
. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+0A7D (CHARACTER 0A7D) is primarily used in the Ethiopic script, which is a writing system for various Ethiopian languages such as Amharic, Tigre, Tigrinya, and others. It represents a specific consonant or vowel sound depending on its context within a word. The Ethiopic script has been in use since around the 4th century AD and is one of the oldest writing systems still used today. This character plays an essential role in digital text, as it allows for accurate representation and communication of these languages in various digital platforms, software, and applications. In terms of cultural significance, the Ethiopic script contributes to preserving the linguistic heritage of the Ethiopian people, as well as promoting literacy and education within these communities.
