Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߹ has the Unicode code point U+07F9. 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+07F9 to binary:
00000111 11111001. 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 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+07F9, known as the NKO Exclamation Mark, serves a significant role in digital text. It is primarily associated with the Nagari script system, which is used for writing several South Asian languages. This particular mark adds emphasis and punctuation to sentences in these linguistic contexts, similar to how an exclamation mark functions in English. Its usage is typically found in digital texts representing these scripts, and it helps provide proper structure and emphasis within the written content. It's important to note that the NKO Exclamation Mark is not commonly used outside of these specific linguistic spheres due to its specialization with the Nagari script system.
