Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߠ has the Unicode code point U+07E0. 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+07E0 to binary:
00000111 11100000. 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 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+07E0 is known as NKO LETTER NA WOLOSO. It holds a significant role in digital text representation for the N'Ko script, which is primarily used to write the Mende language of West Africa. This script was developed in the 1940s by the African Research and Drafting Committee led by Siaka Stevens, who later became the President of Sierra Leone. The N'Ko script has since been adopted by various communities in West Africa for writing their respective languages. U+07E0 is one of over 65,000 characters defined in Unicode, a universal encoding system that aims to standardize and simplify digital text representation across different platforms and devices worldwide. The use of this character in digital texts enhances the cultural, linguistic diversity and contributes to the preservation and promotion of languages spoken by millions of people in West Africa.
