Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߩ has the Unicode code point U+07E9. 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+07E9 to binary:
00000111 11101001
. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+07E9, known as NKO LETTER JONA CHA (Ꮊ), plays a crucial role in digital text representation of the Niger-Congo family of languages, particularly those using the N'Ko script. As a core component of this script, U+07E9 allows for accurate and consistent encoding of written text in these languages, facilitating communication among speakers and preserving linguistic heritage. The N'Ko script itself is widely used in West Africa, predominantly in countries such as Guinea, Mali, Senegal, and Sierra Leone. U+07E9 contributes to the technical accuracy and cultural authenticity of digital texts in these regions, reflecting the rich linguistic diversity and historical significance of the Niger-Congo language family.
