Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߊ has the Unicode code point U+07CA. 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+07CA to binary:
00000111 11001010. 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 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+07CA, known as NKO LETTER A, holds a significant position in the digital realm of textual communication. It is a crucial component of the N'Ko script, which is primarily used to represent the Vai language in West Africa. The N'Ko script is not only integral to written communication but also carries cultural and linguistic importance as it reflects the diverse heritage and traditions of the Vai people. This character, along with other alphabetic symbols, contributes towards enabling efficient data encoding, decoding, and storage in digital systems. U+07CA helps maintain accuracy and consistency in the presentation of text across various platforms and applications.
