Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⵀ has the Unicode code point U+2D40. 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+2D40 to binary:
00101101 01000000. 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 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+2D40 represents the Tifinagh Letter YAH (Ṳ), a letter used in the Tifinagh script, which is an abugida writing system for several Berber languages spoken in North Africa. This script originated from the ancient Libyco-Berber civilization and has been adapted over time to represent various languages such as Tuareg, Kabyle, and other Berber dialects. In digital text, Tifinagh letters are used to transcribe and support communication among Berber speakers who rely on this script for their written language. Tifinagh Letter YAH is essential in the representation of words and phrases, carrying its phonetic value and contributing to the accurate transmission of meaning within the context of these languages.
