Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⵑ has the Unicode code point U+2D51. 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+2D51 to binary:
00101101 01010001. 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 10010001

Description
U+2D51 is the Unicode code point for TIFINAGH LETTER TUAREG YANG, a character used in digital text representation of the Tifinagh script. The Tifinagh script is an ancient Berber writing system that has been adapted and evolved to represent various languages such as Tuareg, Tamazight, and other Berber dialects. U+2D51 specifically represents the sound "t" or "j" in these languages. The Tifinagh script is significant due to its historical connection to the pre-Arab invasion of North Africa. The letters of the Tifinagh alphabet are characterized by their geometric shapes, which are made up of straight lines and curves, making them ideal for carving into stone or wood. This feature also ensures readability across various digital platforms, as they maintain legibility in both large and small font sizes, or when rendered in monochrome. The character U+2D51 is often used in linguistic research, cultural preservation efforts, and educational materials for teaching languages that use the Tifinagh script. It serves an essential role in maintaining and promoting the rich linguistic heritage of Berber-speaking communities, which include millions of speakers in countries like Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Tunisia. In conclusion, U+2D51 is a vital character for digital text representation in languages that use the Tifinagh script, such as Tuareg, Tamazight, and other Berber dialects. Its usage helps preserve and promote the cultural heritage of Berber-speaking communities while ensuring readability across various platforms.
