Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߢ has the Unicode code point U+07E2. 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+07E2 to binary:
00000111 11100010. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+07E2 represents the N'Ko letter "NYA" (NKO LETTER NYA), which is a vital component of the N'Ko script used to write several African languages, including Fula and Serer. Developed in 1985 by Dr. Cherif Bassioui, this modern script significantly improved the efficiency and legibility of written communication in these regions. The N'Ko letter "NYA" is commonly used in digital text for its essential role in rendering words and phrases accurately within the context of these languages. Its usage reflects the growing importance of cultural preservation and linguistic continuity within the African continent, as well as showcasing the richness and diversity of global script traditions.
