Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߾ has the Unicode code point U+07FE. 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+07FE to binary:
00000111 11111110. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+07FE, known as the NKO DOROME SIGN, plays a crucial role in the N'Ko script, which is used primarily for writing the Mende language of Sierra Leone. In digital text, this character serves to indicate the tone of a syllable within a word and contributes to the accuracy and clarity of written communication. The N'Ko script was developed by Solomon Kurukhya in 1949 and has since gained popularity among various ethnic groups in West Africa. The inclusion of U+07FE in digital platforms ensures the accurate representation and transmission of tonal nuances within the Mende language, fostering better communication and preserving cultural heritage.
