Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⵔ has the Unicode code point U+2D54. 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+2D54 to binary:
00101101 01010100. 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 10010100

Description
The TIFINAGH LETTER YAR (U+2D54) is a character from the Tifinagh script, which is utilized in the writing systems of Berber languages spoken across North Africa, primarily in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Mauritania. It holds a significant position in these languages as it represents various consonant sounds. In digital text, this character is used to represent the Tifinagh letter 'Yar' or 'Y', depending on the context and language. The script itself dates back to pre-Islamic times, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Berber people. It was adapted from the Phoenician alphabet and has since evolved, reflecting historical changes in Berber languages. Tifinagh remains an essential part of Berber identity, as it is employed for various purposes such as linguistic research, preservation of Berber culture, and traditional writing systems.
