Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߣ has the Unicode code point U+07E3. 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+07E3 to binary:
00000111 11100011. 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 10100011

Description
U+07E3, the NKO Letter Na, plays a significant role in digital text representation, specifically within the Nagari script. The Nagari script, used primarily for writing the Gurage language spoken in Ethiopia, is part of the Ethiopic family of scripts that are abugida-based. This character's usage typically involves its position as an alphabet in this system, where each letter represents a consonant phoneme with an inherent vowel. In NKO writing, the Na letter carries both its standalone value and is used to form other letters through diacritics. The NKO script's historical significance and continued use today underscore the importance of accurately encoding and representing this character in digital text for preservation and accessibility purposes.
