Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߡ has the Unicode code point U+07E1. 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+07E1 to binary:
00000111 11100001. 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 10100001

Description
U+07E1 is a character in the N'Ko script, used for writing various languages spoken in West Africa, primarily the Maninkakan language. It is a part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to consistently encode, represent and display the written texts of different languages on digital platforms. The N'Ko script was developed in the 1940s by Ibrahima Bambara, a Senegalese scholar, with the objective of unifying the numerous alphabets previously used for these languages into one consistent system. U+07E1, known as "NKO LETTER MA", is one among 32 letters and 9 other symbols in this script. In digital text, it serves to represent a specific phoneme or sound in the spoken language. The use of Unicode for N'Ko script ensures better compatibility across different devices and platforms, thereby promoting effective communication and preserving cultural heritage.
