Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⵐ has the Unicode code point U+2D50. 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+2D50 to binary:
00101101 01010000. 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 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+2D50 is known as the Tifinagh Letter Tuareg Yagn. It is part of the Tifinagh script, which is an alphabet used primarily by the Berber peoples in North Africa. This alphabet has been employed to write several Berber languages such as Tuareg, Tifinagh, and Tamasheq, among others. The U+2D50 character represents a specific letter within this script, specifically the 'Yagn' sound. In digital text, U+2D50 plays a crucial role in enabling the accurate representation of these languages online, thus promoting cultural preservation and global understanding of these linguistic systems.
