Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0C71. 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+0C71 to binary:
00001100 01110001
. 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 10110001

Description
Unicode character U+0C71 (CHARACTER 0C71) is a part of the Ethiopic Extended character set. This character set comprises additional letters that extend the Ethiopic script, which is used primarily to write Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia and Eritrea. The Ethiopic script is also used for other Semitic languages such as Tigrinya, Tigre, and Ge'ez. U+0C71 is a consonant in this script and represents the sound /dʒ/. Its typical usage in digital text involves representing words or phrases in these languages where it appears as an essential part of the Ethiopic alphabet, just like any other character would in its respective script. There isn't a notable cultural, linguistic, or technical context for this character beyond its role within the Ethiopic Extended script and its use in written Amharic, Tigrinya, Tigre, and Ge'ez languages.
