Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߘ has the Unicode code point U+07D8. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+07D8 to binary:
00000111 11011000
. 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 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+07D8, NKO Letter DA, holds significant importance within the Nuosu language, which is primarily spoken by the Yi ethnic group in China's Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. This script, known as Naxi or Denezhinscript, has been used for centuries to transcribe the Nuosu language. U+07D8, specifically, represents a consonant sound with an inherent 'a' vowel in this script. In digital text, it plays a crucial role in ensuring accurate and authentic representation of the Nuosu language, preserving its rich cultural heritage and facilitating communication among its speakers. As a unique character within the Unicode Standard, U+07D8 contributes to the growing linguistic diversity and inclusivity in global digital communication.
