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
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+07E7 to binary:
00000111 11100111
. 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 10100111

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.
