Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߗ has the Unicode code point U+07D7. 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+07D7 to binary:
00000111 11010111. 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 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+07D7 represents the "NKO LETTER CHA" in the N'Ko script, which is predominantly used for writing the Tagnenka language in West Africa. N'Ko script was developed in the 1940s by the famous Senegalese poet and linguist Cheikh Anta Diop as a unified script for the Mande languages. The N'Ko script has since become widely adopted, particularly among the Malinke people of Mali and Guinea, as well as among various other ethnic groups in West Africa. In digital text, U+07D7 is used to accurately represent this character within text documents, websites, and software applications that support Unicode encoding. As a result, it plays an essential role in preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage of these regions while facilitating communication among diverse communities that speak Mande languages.
