Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߪ has the Unicode code point U+07EA. 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+07EA to binary:
00000111 11101010
. 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 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+07EA represents the NKO letter "Jona Ra" (Ջ), which is part of the Ngwa N'Ko script. This script was developed by Sylvanus Olympio, an Ivorian linguist, and is primarily used for writing languages spoken in Africa such as Gur and Niger-Congo. In digital text, U+07EA serves its role as a distinct letter of the Ngwa N'Ko alphabet, enabling accurate representation and transmission of written communication in these languages. The Ngwa N'Ko script is an important tool for preserving cultural heritage and promoting literacy in the regions where it is used, making U+07EA a vital character in the realm of digital typography for these communities.
