Description

U+07F0, known as the NKO Combining Long Low Tone, is a character in Unicode that holds significant importance in digital text. The character primarily serves as a diacritical mark or tone indicator, used to denote the long low tone in the N'Ko script, which is the writing system for the Maninkakan languages spoken by millions of people across West Africa. Its role in the N'Ko script reflects its cultural and linguistic context, as it helps convey the accurate pronunciation of words and phrases within these languages. In terms of technical aspects, U+07F0 follows the principles of Unicode to ensure consistent representation of characters across different digital platforms and devices. By employing this character in its intended manner, digital content creators can maintain the integrity of the N'Ko language for readers and users around the world.

How to type the ߰ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2032 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+07F0. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0080 to 0x07ff.

    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 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+07F0 to binary: 00000111 11110000. 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:
