Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0B45. 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+0B45 to binary:
00001011 01000101
. 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 10101101 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+0B45 (CHARACTER 0B45) is a typographical symbol used primarily within the Ethiopic script. This script is predominantly employed in the Ethiopian, Eritrean, and Somali languages, serving as one of the oldest writing systems originating from ancient Egypt. The specific function of this character U+0B45 in digital text varies depending on its linguistic context. In some instances, it may represent a consonant-vowel sequence, while in others, it could signify a standalone vowel or even a punctuation mark. Due to the complexity and historical depth of Ethiopic script, U+0B45's precise meaning can be context-dependent and requires a comprehensive understanding of its linguistic and cultural background for accurate interpretation.
