Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0BFE. 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+0BFE to binary:
00001011 11111110. 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 10111110

Description
U+0BFE is a less common character in the Unicode standard, primarily used in the Ethiopic script. In this script system, it represents a specific consonant sound that is part of the Ethiopian language family, which includes Amharic, Tigrinya, and others. The Ethiopic script has been used for centuries to write these languages, showcasing a rich cultural heritage. In digital text processing and typography, U+0BFE plays an important role in preserving and presenting the unique characteristics of these African languages, ensuring accurate representation and communication across various platforms and applications. While it may not be as widely recognized as other Unicode characters, its significance in the Ethiopian linguistic landscape highlights the diversity and inclusivity offered by the Unicode standard for global language expression.
