Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߋ has the Unicode code point U+07CB. 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+07CB to binary:
00000111 11001011. 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 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+07CB represents the NKO letter "EE" (NKO LETTER EE). This character is part of the N'Ko script, which is primarily used for writing the Mende language, one of the principal languages in Guinea and Sierra Leone. In digital text, the NKo script plays a vital role in preserving and promoting the cultural identity of these regions by allowing users to accurately express their thoughts and ideas using their native scripts. U+07CB specifically is used in the N'Ko alphabet that consists of 23 consonants and 6 vowels, making it an essential component for representing the sounds of the Mende language. Its usage in digital text helps bridge the gap between oral and written communication, thus playing a crucial role in the preservation and development of Mende culture and language.
