Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0B5A. 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+0B5A to binary:
00001011 01011010. 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 10011010

Description
The Unicode character U+0B5A (CHARACTER 0B5A) is a unique symbol predominantly utilized within the Ethiopic script. This script forms an essential part of the Ge'ez language, which holds historical significance as it was the liturgical language of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and still serves as the basis for several modern Ethiopian languages. U+0B5A is a vowel-like character in this script, used to denote specific phonetic and grammatical nuances. While it may not be widely recognized or frequently employed in digital text outside of these linguistic contexts, its importance within the Ethiopic script ensures its continued relevance in typography and Unicode standards.
