Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߏ has the Unicode code point U+07CF. 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+07CF to binary:
00000111 11001111. 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 10001111

Description
U+07CF is the Unicode character code for NKO Letter Oo, a letter from the Ngaku script. The Ngaku script was developed by the Nkota people of northern Nigeria as an alternative to the Latin script used in their region. This character is used primarily in digital text to represent the "oo" sound, which is common in several Nigerian languages. Although it has seen limited use outside of this specific linguistic and cultural context, its presence in Unicode ensures that Nkota speakers can accurately represent their language on digital platforms. As a result, the U+07CF character plays an essential role in preserving and promoting the rich linguistic heritage of the Nkota people.
