Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⵿ has the Unicode code point U+2D7F. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 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+2D7F to binary:
00101101 01111111. 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:
11100010 10110101 10111111

Description
The Unicode character U+2D7F, known as the TIFINAGH CONSONANT JOINER, holds a significant position in digital typography, particularly in representing the Berber script called Tifinagh. This character is vital for connecting consonants within words and maintaining the coherence of text when writing or typing in Berber languages. Tifinagh has been employed as a writing system across various Berber-speaking communities for centuries, such as in Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania, and Western Sahara. The TIFINAGH CONSONANT JOINER is a crucial element of digital typography as it allows users to accurately input and display text in these languages on modern devices and platforms, thus preserving linguistic heritage and facilitating communication for Berber-speaking communities.
