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.

How to type the ߘ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2008 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. 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 to 0x07ff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+07D8 to binary: 00000111 11011000. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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:
