Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߳ has the Unicode code point U+07F3. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare 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+07F3 to binary:
00000111 11110011. 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:
11011111 10110011

Description
U+07F3, or NKO Combining Double Dot Above, is a typographical character within the Unicode standard. This character plays a significant role in digital text by serving as a diacritic in the Northern Kurdish language, also known as Kurmanji. The NKO script was developed in the early 20th century to standardize the writing of various dialects of Kurdish and is primarily used for digital communication and publishing. The Combining Double Dot Above character is placed above a base letter to indicate a specific phonetic or linguistic distinction, similar to how accents are used in other languages such as Spanish and French. Its primary use is within the context of Northern Kurdish typography, contributing to the accurate representation and transmission of this minority language's unique phonetics and nuances.
