Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0B9D. 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+0B9D to binary:
00001011 10011101. 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 10101110 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+0B9D, also known as CHARACTER 0B9D, is primarily utilized in the Ethiopic script for encoding specific characters used in the Amharic language. In digital text, this character plays a vital role in representing unique sounds or phonemes within the Amharic language, which is an Afro-Asiatic language 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. The precise usage of CHARACTER 0B9D within the Ethiopic script helps maintain the linguistic integrity of Amharic text and supports accurate communication among native speakers.
