Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߶ has the Unicode code point U+07F6. 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+07F6 to binary:
00000111 11110110. 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 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+07F6, known as the "NKO SYMBOL OO DENNEN", holds a significant role in digital text, particularly within the N'Ko script, which is primarily used to represent the Maninka language spoken predominantly in Guinea, Senegal, and other West African countries. U+07F6 specifically denotes an "OO" shape with a horizontal line at the bottom, which may be employed for various purposes such as punctuation or symbolization in text. Although this particular character is not widely recognized or utilized outside of specific linguistic contexts, it remains an essential component within N'Ko typography and contributes to the richness of the written Maninka language.
