Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߟ has the Unicode code point U+07DF. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
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 thexare 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+07DF to binary:
00000111 11011111. 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 10011111

Description
U+07DF is the Unicode code point for NKO LETTER LA, a character from the N'Ko script. This script is primarily used in writing the N'Ko language, which is spoken by millions of people across West Africa, predominantly in Guinea-Conakry and Senegal. The N'Ko script was developed in the 1940s by a group of African scholars led by Ibrahima Ly, as a part of efforts to create a standardized writing system for the various ethnic groups who spoke similar languages but used different scripts. Since its introduction, the N'Ko script has been widely adopted and has become a symbol of cultural pride for many in the region. In digital text, characters like U+07DF play a crucial role in facilitating communication and preserving linguistic heritage. This Unicode character contributes to the accurate representation of the N'Ko language in various digital platforms and software applications, promoting literacy and cultural understanding among speakers and learners alike.
