Description

The Unicode character U+07E7 represents the NKO letter "Nya Woloso" (Νẹ), which is an essential component of the N'ko script, used primarily for writing the Vai language in West Africa. This alphabet was developed in the 1950s by Dr. Albert N'Coto and is widely employed in countries such as Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. U+07E7 plays a vital role in digital text representation, enabling accurate translation, communication, and preservation of linguistic heritage for Vai speakers worldwide. The N'ko script, including the Nya Woloso character, has significant cultural and linguistic value, as it reflects the unique phonetic and phonological features of the Vai language, which is part of the Mande language family.

How to type the ߧ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2023 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character ߧ has the Unicode code point U+07E7. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0080 to 0x07ff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+07E7 to binary: 00000111 11100111. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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:
