Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0C70. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+0C70 to binary:
00001100 01110000
. 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 10110001 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+0C70 is primarily used in the Ethiopic script for writing Amharic, one of the major Afro-Asiatic languages. This particular character represents a consonant with a phonetic value similar to "k" or "ch". In digital text, it plays a crucial role in accurately representing and preserving the original text's meaning when transcribed into the computer system. The Ethiopic script is unique as it uses a syllabary, which means that each character represents a consonant-vowel sequence rather than just a single consonant. This is an important aspect of the Amharic language and its literature. U+0C70 is an essential part of maintaining cultural identity through written form in digital media for Ethiopian communities and scholars worldwide.
