Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߇ has the Unicode code point U+07C7. 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+07C7 to binary:
00000111 11000111. 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 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+07C7, also known as NKO DIGIT SEVEN, plays a crucial role in the N'Ko script, which is primarily used for writing the West African languages such as Fula (Fulani), Serer, and others. This character falls under the category of alphabetic punctuation symbols in Unicode. The N'Ko script was developed by the renowned Senegalese writer and politician Mamadou Diouf in 1978 to replace the Latin alphabet used for these languages. In digital text, U+07C7 serves as a numeral representing the value seven within the N'Ko numbering system. The use of this character helps maintain consistency and accuracy while writing and typing in these languages using a standardized script.
