Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߞ has the Unicode code point U+07DE. 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+07DE to binary:
00000111 11011110
. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+07DE represents the NKO letter 'Ka', which plays a crucial role in digital text using the New Tai Lue script. This script is primarily used to transcribe the New Tai languages, which are spoken by various ethnic groups in Southeast Asia, particularly in China and Myanmar. The NKO letter 'Ka' specifically has a significant cultural and linguistic importance, as it forms the basis for constructing words and phrases in these languages. In typography, accurate representation of such characters is essential to ensure readability and maintain the integrity of the language. U+07DE contributes to this by enabling proper encoding and display of the NKO letter 'Ka' in digital text, promoting better communication and understanding among speakers of New Tai languages around the world.
