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
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+07D5 to binary:
00000111 11010101
. 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 10010101

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.
