Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0BDB. 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+0BDB to binary:
00001011 11011011. 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 10101111 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+0BDB is an important element in the world of digital typography. It holds a significant role as it represents a specific character in the Ethiopic script. This script belongs to the Abugida family of writing systems, which are predominantly used in languages such as Amharic and Ge'ez. In terms of usage, U+0BDB specifically denotes the vowel "A" when used within the Ethiopic script, aiding in the accurate pronunciation of words and phrases in these languages. It is essential for any digital text that includes content in these languages, ensuring proper readability and understanding by native speakers. While it may not be widely known or utilized in other linguistic contexts, U+0BDB plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and accessibility of Ethiopic language content within digital platforms.
