Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߱ has the Unicode code point U+07F1. 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+07F1 to binary:
00000111 11110001. 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 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+07F1 represents the "NKO COMBINING LONG RISING TONE" in digital text. It is primarily used in the N'Ko script, which is a writing system for the West African Mande languages, such as Fulani, Maninka, and others. This character is specifically utilized to modify the intonation of vowels in N'Ko words by placing it above the base character, creating a rising tone on the following syllable. The combination of characters using U+07F1 and other combining marks allows for greater expressiveness in written N'Ko language, as tone plays an essential role in conveying meaning and sentiment in these languages. In terms of cultural significance, the N'Ko script was developed in the 1940s by a group of West African intellectuals led by Ibrahima Baldé Diop to promote literacy and standardize the writing of various Mande languages. Today, U+07F1 and other N'Ko characters are essential for preserving these linguistic traditions in digital environments.
