Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߺ has the Unicode code point U+07FA. 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+07FA to binary:
00000111 11111010. 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 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+07FA is known as NKO LAJANYALAN, which represents a consonant in the N'Ko script used for writing various West African languages such as the Maninkakan, Fulani, and many others. It plays an essential role in digital text representation of these languages, enabling accurate communication and preservation of cultural heritage. This character, along with other 67 N'Ko script characters, is part of the Unicode Standard, which ensures consistent encoding, rendering, and compatibility across various devices and platforms. The adoption of the N'Ko script into the Unicode Standard has greatly facilitated the digital text processing and exchange for these languages, contributing to linguistic preservation and revitalization efforts.
