Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߉ has the Unicode code point U+07C9. 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+07C9 to binary:
00000111 11001001. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+07C9, also known as the "NKO DIGIT NINE", holds significant importance within the context of digital text, particularly in the Noorko (N'Ko) script. This script is predominantly used for writing the languages of the Maninkakan and Fula, which are spoken by millions of people across West Africa. U+07C9, or 9 in NKO script, typically serves as a numeral in various mathematical equations, enumerations, and numbering systems. Its precise representation distinguishes it from other numeral representations, thereby facilitating accurate communication in digital text. Despite the fact that the N'Ko script is relatively less known compared to other major scripts like Arabic or Roman, U+07C9 holds a pivotal role in maintaining and promoting the cultural and linguistic heritage of these African languages. As more content in these languages gain recognition, U+07C9 becomes increasingly important for its contribution towards preserving and advancing the N'Ko script and the respective languages.
