Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⵗ has the Unicode code point U+2D57. 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+2D57 to binary:
00101101 01010111. 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 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+2D57, known as the TIFINAGH LETTER TUAREG YAGH, plays a significant role in digital text representation. This character is part of the Tifinagh script, which is primarily used to write Berber languages such as Tamasheq, spoken by the Tuareg people inhabiting parts of North and West Africa. The Tifinagh script, characterized by its distinctive geometric style, has a history that dates back to the ancient Carthaginian and pre-Carthaginian civilizations in North Africa. The TIFINAGH LETTER TUAREG YAGH (U+2D57) is an essential component of the Tifinagh script, serving as a distinct letter with its unique shape and form. This character is indispensable for accurate representation and transmission of text in Berber languages via digital platforms, promoting linguistic preservation and cultural continuity among the Tuareg people and other speakers of these languages. As more Berber languages gain recognition through the use of Unicode characters like U+2D57, it becomes easier to ensure proper encoding and representation in digital media, thereby contributing to greater visibility and understanding of these culturally significant languages.
