Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߔ has the Unicode code point U+07D4. 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+07D4 to binary:
00000111 11010100. 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 10010100

Description
The Unicode character U+07D4 represents the NKO letter 'PA' (Narrow Koyra). In the digital text world, this character is utilized in the N'Ko script, which is primarily used to write the N'Ko language. Spoken mainly by the Kankan, Toma, and other ethnic groups in Guinea, Sierra Leone, and other West African countries, the N'Ko script serves as an important tool for preserving the cultural heritage of these communities. The N'Ko alphabet was developed by Solomon Léòn M'Boké Kanté, a Malian polymath, in 1949 to replace the earlier Latin-based scripts that were adopted after French colonization. U+07D4 is part of the N'Ko block in Unicode, which comprises 26 uppercase and 26 lowercase letters, along with additional symbols such as punctuation marks and diacritics to support accurate digital rendering and processing of N'Ko text.
