Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߲ has the Unicode code point U+07F2. 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+07F2 to binary:
00000111 11110010. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+07F2, known as the NKO Combining Nasalization Mark, is a typographic symbol with a primary role in digital text, specifically within the N'Ko script system. This script is predominantly used for writing the national languages of several West African countries, including Guinea-Bissau, Senegal, and Guinea Conakry. The NKO Combining Nasalization Mark serves as a diacritical mark to indicate nasalized vowel sounds in these languages. In its usage, it combines with other characters, such as vowels or consonants, to alter their pronunciation in written text. Its inclusion allows for greater accuracy in the representation of spoken language, enhancing readability and comprehension among speakers of N'Ko languages. The NKO Combining Nasalization Mark is a crucial component in digital typography, ensuring proper character encoding and rendering across various platforms and devices.
