Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⵕ has the Unicode code point U+2D55. 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+2D55 to binary:
00101101 01010101. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+2D55, TIFINAGH LETTER YARR, plays a significant role in the digital representation of text using the Tifinagh script. This unique alphabet is primarily used for writing Berber languages, including Kabyle and Tamazight, spoken in North Africa, particularly in the regions of Algeria, Morocco, and Mauritania. Tifinagh is also adopted as a symbolic representation for certain Berber identity movements. The character U+2D55, or TIFINAGH LETTER YARR, represents one of the 29 letters in this script. Its distinctive design showcases a looped vertical stroke with two horizontal strokes extending from it, making it easily recognizable and setting it apart from other characters in the alphabet. The adoption of Unicode ensures that characters like TIFINAGH LETTER YARR can be consistently encoded, displayed, and exchanged across digital platforms, promoting the preservation and promotion of Berber languages and cultures.
