Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ߿ has the Unicode code point U+07FF. 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+07FF to binary:
00000111 11111111. 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 10111111

Description
The Unicode character U+07FF represents the NKO TAMAN SIGN, a special symbol used in the N'Ko script. This script is primarily employed for writing the Senegalese languages like Serer and the West African language of Fula. In digital text, the NKo Taman Sign holds significant importance due to its role in distinguishing consonant clusters within words. It does not have a direct equivalent in Latin-based alphabets and is essential for accurate text rendering and processing in Unicode-supported systems. As an indispensable component of the N'Ko script, it has been instrumental in preserving cultural heritage and facilitating communication among speakers of languages utilizing this writing system.
