Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⵤ has the Unicode code point U+2D64. 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+2D64 to binary:
00101101 01100100. 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 10100100

Description
The character U+2D64, known as TIFINAGH LETTER TAWELLEMET YAZ, is a significant component in digital text representation, particularly within the realm of Berber languages. It is an integral part of the Tifinagh script, which has been historically utilized by several Berber communities across North Africa and parts of the Canary Islands. This unique script is considered as one of the oldest writing systems still in use today, with roots tracing back to pre-Islamic times. The Tifinagh script comprises a set of symbols that are derived from the Phoenician alphabet, making it an important link between ancient and modern civilizations. In its typographical representation, U+2D64, or TAWELLEMET YAZ, possesses a distinctive form that sets it apart in digital text. Its unique design is a testament to the cultural richness and linguistic diversity of Berber-speaking communities. The character's role in digital text further underscores its importance, as it facilitates accurate representation and communication within these communities, which have been historically marginalized in many regions. The usage of Tifinagh script, including U+2D64, has grown increasingly significant due to the ongoing efforts towards cultural revitalization and linguistic preservation among Berber speakers. The character plays a crucial role in maintaining the linguistic identity and heritage of these communities. Its presence in digital text, therefore, not only enhances the visibility of the script but also aids in fostering cross-cultural understanding and appreciation for diverse languages and scripts.
