Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߎ has the Unicode code point U+07CE. 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+07CE to binary:
00000111 11001110
. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+07CE represents the NKO letter 'U', a symbol used primarily in the Niger-Kordofanian language family, particularly in the N'Ko script. This script was developed in the 1970s to standardize the writing of several West African languages, including Fulani, Soninke, and others. The character U+07CE plays an essential role in preserving and promoting linguistic diversity within these communities, as it facilitates accurate communication and documentation of their cultures and histories. In digital text, this character is crucial for ensuring the correct representation and encoding of N'Ko language content, thereby supporting the accessibility and readability of information across various devices and platforms.
