Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0B0D. 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+0B0D to binary:
00001011 00001101
. 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 10101100 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+0B0D is a unique symbol that holds significant importance within the world of typography and digital text. It represents the character 'COMMA' in the Ethiopic (Ge'ez) script, which is primarily used for writing Amharic, Tigrinya, and other Semitic languages in the Horn of Africa region. The Ethiopic script is one of the oldest continuously used writing systems in the world, dating back to around 300 CE. In digital text applications, U+0B0D serves as an essential component for accurate representation of the Ethiopic language, enabling efficient communication and preservation of cultural heritage in these regions. Despite its niche role within specific linguistic contexts, this character plays a crucial part in facilitating international exchange of information by providing a reliable and standardized encoding system.
