Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߤ has the Unicode code point U+07E4. 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+07E4 to binary:
00000111 11100100
. 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 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+07E4 represents the N'Ko letter 'Ha'. This character plays a vital role in digital texts that use the N'Ko script, primarily for writing the N'Ko language spoken predominantly in Guinea and Sierra Leone. The N'Ko script is part of the larger group of abugidas, where each character represents a consonant with an inherent vowel 'a'. U+07E4 is classified under the "Latin Extended-C" block of Unicode, which encompasses additional Latin characters for various languages and writing systems. The N'Ko script is significant in preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of West African countries, and its inclusion in the Unicode Standard facilitates accurate and consistent representation across digital platforms.
