Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0B7D. 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+0B7D to binary:
00001011 01111101. 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 10111101

Description
U+0B7D is a unique character in the Unicode standard, representing the Ethiopic syllable 'A'. The Ethiopic script is predominantly used for writing the Amharic language, which is one of the major languages spoken in Ethiopia and Eritrea. This syllabary has been part of the Ethiopian culture for centuries and holds great importance in the region's history and heritage. In digital text, U+0B7D plays a vital role as it forms the basis for constructing words and sentences in Amharic, enabling communication and information exchange among Ethiopian speakers worldwide. The use of this character and the wider Ethiopic script demonstrates the richness and diversity of global typography, reflecting various cultural contexts and linguistic expressions in the Unicode system.
