Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0BAC. 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+0BAC to binary:
00001011 10101100. 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 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+0BAC, also known as CHARACTER 0BAC, is a typographical symbol with specific roles in digital text representation. This character primarily serves in the encoding of Ethiopic script, which is used for writing various Ethiopian languages such as Amharic, Tigre, and Tigrinya. In the context of these languages, CHARACTER 0BAC represents a specific phoneme or sound. The use of this character in digital text helps to maintain linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity when representing these African languages in written form, making it an essential tool for accurate language processing, translation, and communication in Ethiopia and other regions where these languages are spoken.
