Description

U+07EB (NKO COMBINING SHORT HIGH TONE) is a Unicode character primarily used in the N'Ko script, which is an abugida writing system employed for various African languages such as Fula (Fulani), Mandinka, and Soninke. In digital text, this character is utilized to indicate a short high tone in the N'Ko script. The Unicode character U+07EB serves as a diacritic that modifies the tone of the preceding vowel or syllable. This character is essential for accurate representation and readability of text in languages using the N'Ko abugida, where tonal distinctions are crucial for proper meaning and context. The use of U+07EB contributes to preserving linguistic integrity and cultural identity within digital texts.

How to type the ߫ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2027 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+07EB. 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+07EB to binary: 00000111 11101011. 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:
