Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߭ has the Unicode code point U+07ED. 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+07ED to binary:
00000111 11101101. 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 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+07ED, NKO Combining Short Rising Tone, plays a crucial role in the N'Ko script, which is primarily used to write the N'Ko language spoken by millions of people in West Africa, particularly in Guinea, Senegal, and Mali. This character serves as a diacritic, specifically functioning as a tone marker in the N'Ko writing system. The N'Ko script is unique in that it uses a syllabary, which means that each character represents a syllable rather than a consonant-vowel pair like in the Latin alphabet. Consequently, U+07ED contributes to the accurate representation of tonal patterns within N'Ko words and phrases. Its application is predominantly found in digital text for the purpose of preserving linguistic nuances and facilitating communication among speakers of the N'Ko language. In summary, the NKO Combining Short Rising Tone (U+07ED) is an essential component of the N'Ko script that aids in conveying tone variations within the language, thus enriching the communicative capacity of digital text for speakers of this West African language.
