Description

The Unicode character U+07C0, known as NKO DIGIT ZERO, holds a significant place in the realm of digital typography. This character is primarily used in the Niger-Congo language group, specifically within the N'Ko script system. In this context, it represents the numeral zero and plays an essential role in numerical values and digit formation. The N'Ko script, which predominantly serves the Malinke people of West Africa, has been widely adopted by various ethnic groups in the region as a unifying script due to its phonetic nature and ease of learning. U+07C0 contributes to the accurate representation of numbers in these languages, facilitating communication and enhancing the cultural identity of these communities. This character is integral for digital text processing in these languages, ensuring correct encoding and preserving linguistic integrity in the modern era of information technology.

How to type the ߀ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1984 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

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

    The character ߀ has the Unicode code point U+07C0. 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+07C0 to binary: 00000111 11000000. 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:
