Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⵁ has the Unicode code point U+2D41. 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+2D41 to binary:
00101101 01000001. 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 10000001

Description
U+2D41 is a typographical character representing the Tifinagh Letter Berber Academy YAH. In digital texts, it plays a crucial role as part of the Tifinagh script, an ancient Berber writing system used primarily in North Africa. This script has been adapted and evolved from Phoenician or Libyan scripts, and today is utilized by various Berber languages such as Tamazight, Kabyle, and Tamasheq. The Academy YAH character specifically represents a voiced postalveolar fricative sound in these languages. U+2D41 is part of the Unicode standard, which ensures consistency and interoperability across digital platforms, allowing for accurate representation of this unique letter and its associated language. It's essential to preserve and promote the usage of such characters to respect and maintain cultural diversity and linguistic heritage in our increasingly globalized digital world.
