Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߙ has the Unicode code point U+07D9. 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+07D9 to binary:
00000111 11011001. 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 10011001

Description
The Unicode character U+07D9, known as NKO LETTER RA, plays a significant role in the digital representation of the Niger-Kordofanian languages. As part of the N'Ko script, this character is widely used in digital texts for these language families, primarily in West Africa. It serves to represent the consonantal sound "r" in various N'Ko-based languages, making it a crucial element in maintaining linguistic integrity and cultural representation in digital communications. The N'Ko script itself was developed by Solomon Kane in 1949 as an orthographic system for the Maninkakan language, but has since been adapted for use across numerous Niger-Kordofanian languages due to its phonetic clarity and ease of learning. Consequently, characters like U+07D9 are indispensable in preserving and promoting linguistic diversity and cultural identity within these communities.
