Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߌ has the Unicode code point U+07CC. 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+07CC to binary:
00000111 11001100. 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 10001100

Description
U+07CC, also known as NKO Letter I, is a character from the N'Ko script, which is primarily used for writing the N'Ko language spoken by millions of people in West Africa, particularly in Guinea-Conakry and Sierra Leone. This unique alphabetic script was developed in the early 20th century to replace multiple scripts previously used for various ethnic groups in the region, such as the Arabic script and the Latin alphabet. The NKO Letter I holds a significant role in digital text, as it is a fundamental component of the N'Ko alphabet, which consists of 26 letters. It is essential for accurate representation of the N'Ko language in digital formats, such as websites, documents, and software applications. The N'Ko script has been encoded in Unicode to ensure that its characters can be reliably represented and processed by computer systems, contributing to its preservation and promotion among global audiences.
