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
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+07EB to binary:
00000111 11101011
. 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 10101011

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.
