Maybe your Mac OS Amharic font is using Apple-specific SFNT tables

This works. I tried copy-pasting the Kefa font into the sa
On my system both input text and font use the Unicode range for Amharic. So the
question is why it is changed to a private area character in the PDF. If
Lilypond does not see the font, one would think the code point should not be
changed.

On my system (Ubuntu), your amharic characters are encoded in the *Ethiopan
pane*
(U+1200-U+137C)
and they are displayed with the FreeSerif Font
For example ቱ (the third character) is defined as
U+1271 ETHIOPIC SYLLABLE TU
So they are _not_ in any private area.
I tested them in a LilyPond file

No idea.
Amharic does not display when using:
\header{
composer = "Mulatu Astatke (ሙላቱ አስታጥቄ)"
}
Instead, showing a series of PRIVATE USE AREA-10FC18 U+10FC18.
On MacOS, there is a system font Kefa for Amharic.
So what is missing here?
