Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߂ has the Unicode code point U+07C2. 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+07C2 to binary:
00000111 11000010. 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 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+07C2, known as NKO DIGIT TWO, plays a significant role in the N'Ko script, which is primarily used for writing multiple languages such as Fula (Fulani), Maninkakan, and Serer. This digit is part of a larger set of N'Ko numerals that enable users to represent numbers in digital text. The N'Ko script itself has its origins in the Arabic script, and it was developed during the 19th century by Sidi Ahmed Gadiadji Diop as an alternative to the Latin script for writing West African languages more effectively. In modern digital communication, U+07C2, like other N'Ko digits, facilitates accurate numerical representation and is widely used in devices and software that support Unicode, ensuring smooth exchange of information across various platforms and languages.
