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.

How to type the ߖ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2006 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. 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 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+07D6 to binary: 00000111 11010110. 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:
