Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0F6E. 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+0F6E to binary:
00001111 01101110
. 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 10111101 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+0F6E (CHARACTER 0F6E) holds a significant role in the realm of digital text, particularly within the context of Ethiopic script. This script is primarily used for writing Amharic, the official language of Ethiopia, as well as other Ethiopian languages such as Tigre and Tigrinya. In digital text, U+0F6E typically represents a specific vowel or consonant-vowel combination, contributing to the proper representation and readability of these languages in the digital domain. As Ethiopic script is unique in its structure and appearance compared to other scripts around the world, such as the Latin, Cyrillic, or Arabic scripts, the character U+0F6E plays a crucial role in preserving the linguistic heritage and cultural identity of the Ethiopian languages.
