Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⵜ has the Unicode code point U+2D5C. 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+2D5C to binary:
00101101 01011100. 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 10011100

Description
The TIFINAGH LETTER YAT (U+2D5C) is a character primarily used in the Tifinagh script, an ancient writing system that has been adapted for use by various Berber languages in North Africa. It is part of the Unicode Standard, which facilitates the accurate encoding and display of text across different platforms and devices. In digital text, the TIFINAGH LETTER YAT serves as a critical component in representing the sounds and nuances of Berber languages such as Tamazight, Kabyle, and Tamasheq. The character is essential for preserving the linguistic heritage of these cultures, fostering communication among speakers, and enabling digital access to traditional literature. Tifinagh script has historical significance, as it originated from the ancient Libyco-Berber civilization in North Africa, and its modern usage reflects the rich cultural context that has evolved over time.
