Description

The Unicode character U+0CCF (character 0CCF) is a specialized symbol used primarily in the context of the N'Ko script, which is an Abugida writing system employed for several African languages, most notably the Maninkakan language, also known as Mandinka or Mandinka. This character represents the phoneme /ɲ/ when used in conjunction with a following vowel, and it plays a crucial role in representing the distinctive pronunciation of these languages. In digital text, U+0CCF allows for accurate and clear communication among speakers of N'Ko-based languages, helping to maintain linguistic integrity while facilitating cross-cultural exchange and understanding.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3279 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+0CCF. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+0CCF to binary: 00001100 11001111. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10110011 10001111
