Description

The Unicode character U+07D5, known as NKO LETTER TA, holds a significant position in the typography landscape. It is part of the N'Ko script, an alphabet used predominantly to write the N'Ko language, which is spoken by the peoples inhabiting the West African countries of Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Senegal, and Mali. U+07D5 represents a consonant in this script, specifically the voiced alveolar stop /d/. In digital text, U+07D5 is used for accurate representation of N'Ko language documents, literature, and other written materials. The character has a crucial role in promoting cultural diversity through its inclusion in Unicode, facilitating the proper encoding of N'Ko texts and enabling effective communication among the speakers of this language.

How to type the ߕ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2005 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ߕ has the Unicode code point U+07D5. 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+07D5 to binary: 00000111 11010101. 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:
