Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߅ has the Unicode code point U+07C5. 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+07C5 to binary:
00000111 11000101
. 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 10000101

Description
U+07C5, the NKO DIGIT FIVE character, is a crucial component of the Niger-Kordofanian (NKO) script. It plays a significant role in digital text by representing the numeral 'five' within the NKO writing system. The NKO script was developed for the Malinke language, which is primarily spoken in West Africa, particularly in countries like Mali, Guinea, and Senegal. U+07C5 contributes to the accurate representation of numerical values in NKO text, facilitating effective communication among native speakers and promoting cultural preservation through digital mediums. In linguistic and technical contexts, U+07C5 is essential for maintaining the integrity of NKO language materials, such as literature, educational resources, and digital platforms.
