Description

The Unicode character U+07D0 represents the NKO letter "O" and is an integral part of the Northern Kanna (N'ko) script, which is used for writing several African languages, including Wolof and Serer. In digital text, it serves as a fundamental building block for creating words and phrases in these languages. The N'ko script was developed in the 1980s to replace traditional Arabic scripts in order to promote literacy and facilitate communication among different ethnic groups within West Africa. U+07D0 holds significant cultural and linguistic importance, as it contributes to the preservation and promotion of these African languages.

How to type the ߐ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2000 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ߐ has the Unicode code point U+07D0. 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+07D0 to binary: 00000111 11010000. 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:
