Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⵋ has the Unicode code point U+2D4B. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 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+2D4B to binary:
00101101 01001011
. 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 10001011

Description
U+2D4B, also known as Tifinagh Letter AhaggAR Yazh, is a character in the Unicode standard that represents one of the 29 letters used in the Tifinagh script, an ancient writing system originally developed by the Berber people of North Africa. This script has been adapted and modified over time to represent various languages such as Tamazight, Tarifit, and Kabyle. In digital text, U+2D4B serves as a code point that uniquely identifies the specific Tifinagh letter 'AhaggAR Yazh.' Its usage in digital text allows for accurate representation and preservation of cultural, linguistic, and historical contexts, making it particularly valuable in fields like anthropology, linguistics, and historical research.
