Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߽ has the Unicode code point U+07FD. 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+07FD to binary:
00000111 11111101
. 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 10111101

Description
U+07FD, the NKO Dantayalan character, plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the New Kurdish script system, which was created to provide a standardized form of written expression for various dialects of Kurdish. As part of this alphabet, NKO Dantayalan is used to represent distinct phonetic values and contribute to the accurate transcription of the Kurdish language. The character also holds cultural significance, as it represents an important step in the standardization and digitization of the Kurdish language, which has historically been written using several different scripts, including Arabic, Latin, and Cyrillic. As a result, U+07FD's inclusion in Unicode reflects the growing recognition and preservation of linguistic diversity, further enabling global communication and collaboration among speakers of various dialects within the Kurdish-speaking communities.
