Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0B50. 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+0B50 to binary:
00001011 01010000. 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 10010000

Description
U+0B50 is a character from the Ethiopic script used predominantly in Ethiopia and Eritrea for their official languages, Amharic and Tigrinya respectively. In digital text, this character serves as an essential component of the Ethiopic script, which has been in use since the 9th century. The Ethiopic script is unique for its right-to-left directionality and its use of diacritics to denote vowels, tones, and other linguistic elements. As a result, U+0B50 plays a vital role in maintaining the integrity of the Ethiopic script within digital systems. Its proper encoding ensures accurate representation and communication of Amharic and Tigrinya texts in various digital platforms, including websites, documents, and software applications. In summary, U+0B50 is a pivotal character in the Ethiopic script, contributing to the rich linguistic heritage of Ethiopia and Eritrea by facilitating the accurate representation and communication of their official languages in the digital realm.
