Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᱽ has the Unicode code point U+1C7D. 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+1C7D to binary:
00011100 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:
11100001 10110001 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+1C7D, OL CHIKI AHAD (ደ), is a significant element in the Ethiopic script, which is used primarily for writing the Amharic language. In digital text, this character serves as a crucial component in rendering proper and accurate translations of literary works, religious texts, and contemporary documents in Amharic. The Ethiopic script, also known as Ge'ez or Fidel, has been utilized since ancient times and holds immense cultural and linguistic significance in the Ethiopian context. U+1C7D specifically represents a voiced bilabial stop consonant sound (b or b̩) and is essential for the correct pronunciation and phonetics of Amharic words containing this particular sound. As digital communication continues to grow, ensuring accurate representation of such unique characters becomes increasingly vital for preserving cultural heritage and facilitating effective communication among native speakers and scholars of the Ethiopic script.
