Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0B31. 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+0B31 to binary:
00001011 00110001. 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 10110001

Description
U+0B31 is a character within the Ethiopic script, which is used to represent the "Æ" (Ethiopic letter sades) in digital text. This character is primarily utilized in the Ethiopian language, which is spoken by millions of people in Ethiopia and Eritrea. The Ethiopic script is one of the oldest writing systems still in use today, with its origins dating back to the 4th century AD. As a result, U+0B31 holds significant cultural and linguistic value, providing essential functionality for accurate digital text representation of the Ethiopian language. In terms of technical context, U+0B31 is part of the Unicode Standard, an encoding system that provides a unique code for every character in all languages.
