Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߸ has the Unicode code point U+07F8. 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+07F8 to binary:
00000111 11111000. 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 10111000

Description
The Unicode character U+07F8 represents the NKO Comma (𝔘), which plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the Nyāsukim language. The NKO script is primarily used for writing Bamum, an Afro-Asiatic language spoken in Cameroon and Nigeria. The NKO Comma serves as a punctuation mark that separates elements of a sentence or phrase, similar to its counterpart in the Latin alphabet, the comma. However, due to limited adoption and awareness of the Nyāsukim script, the usage of the NKO Comma is relatively niche compared to more widely used punctuation marks like the full stop (period) or the comma in the Latin alphabet.
