Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⵖ has the Unicode code point U+2D56. 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+2D56 to binary:
00101101 01010110. 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 10010110

Description
U+2D56 is the Unicode character code for TIFINAGH LETTER YAGH, a symbol from the Berber script known as Tifinagh. The Tifinagh script has been used to write several Berber languages, primarily in North Africa and the Sahara region. It has a long history dating back to ancient times when it was employed by various pre-Arabized Berber cultures to record their languages. The character's role in digital text is predominantly cultural or linguistic, as it is not commonly used in everyday communication or modern documents. However, its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures its preservation and accessibility for those interested in studying or utilizing ancient scripts. Tifinagh remains an important symbol of Berber heritage and identity, making U+2D56 a crucial character for linguists, historians, and people who want to connect with their cultural roots.
