Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⴵ has the Unicode code point U+2D35. 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+2D35 to binary:
00101101 00110101
. 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 10110100 10110101

Description
The Unicode character U+2D35, known as the TIFINAGH LETTER BERBER ACADEMY YAJ, holds a significant role in digital text pertaining to Berber language scripts. It is primarily utilized within the Tifinagh script, which is an alphabetic writing system employed for various Berber languages spoken across North Africa, particularly in Morocco and Algeria. The character represents the phoneme /ʝ/ or /ʒ/, similar to the English sound "y" in 'you' or 'yeast'. In terms of linguistic context, Tifinagh is considered a living script that continues to evolve, and the Berber Academy has played an instrumental role in standardizing its usage. The U+2D35 character contributes to this process by providing a reliable digital representation of the letter 'YAJ'. Technically, Unicode ensures consistent encoding across various platforms and devices, thereby facilitating seamless communication and information exchange among digital systems. With the incorporation of the TIFINAGH LETTER BERBER ACADEMY YAJ character (U+2D35) into the Unicode Standard, it becomes easier to create and display Berber texts accurately on different devices worldwide. This promotes cultural diversity and preserves the linguistic heritage of Berber languages in digital contexts.
