Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߖ has the Unicode code point U+07D6. 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+07D6 to binary:
00000111 11010110
. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+07D6 represents NKO Letter Ja (ጼ) in the Ethiopic Extended script. This character is primarily used in digital text for typography purposes, particularly within the context of the Nuosu language, spoken by the ethnic Nuosu people in China's Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. NKO is a writing system that uses syllables instead of alphabetic letters, with each character typically representing a consonant-vowel pairing. U+07D6, or ጼ, specifically denotes the "j" sound followed by an "a" vowel. In its cultural and linguistic context, NKO is crucial for preserving the Nuosu language and identity, as it serves as a written form of their oral traditions. From a technical standpoint, Unicode character U+07D6 ensures accurate representation and encoding of this specific character in digital text, facilitating communication and documentation within the Nuosu community and promoting linguistic diversity.
