Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߆ has the Unicode code point U+07C6. 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+07C6 to binary:
00000111 11000110. 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 10000110

Description
U+07C6, the NKO Digit Six, plays a significant role in the Numero Koyra Chiini (NKo) script, which is primarily used for writing the Maninkakan languages of West Africa. This character represents the numeral six in the NKo numeric system and is utilized to convey numerical values within digital text, particularly when transcribing dates, times, or other quantitative data. The NKo script, developed by Dr. Cherif Rahma Sy, was created to facilitate the typing of the Maninkakan languages using a Roman-based alphabet, which has been instrumental in increasing literacy rates and improving communication among various ethnic groups in West Africa. As an essential component of the NKo numeral system, U+07C6 contributes to the accurate representation and understanding of numerical information within these languages.
