Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⵝ has the Unicode code point U+2D5D. 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+2D5D to binary:
00101101 01011101. 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 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+2D5D, known as the TIFINAGH LETTER YATH, holds a significant position in digital typography and linguistics. In its typical usage, this character serves as a key component of the Tifinagh script, which is primarily employed for writing Berber languages in North Africa, particularly those spoken in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Mauritania. The Tifinagh script originates from pre-Islamic era, specifically in the 8th century AD, where it was developed by the Tuareg people in the Sahara region to adapt the Arabic script for their language. This alphabetic system is noted for its distinct and unique style, characterized by angular forms that resemble geometric shapes rather than imitating human or animal forms as seen in other scripts. The Tifinagh letter YATH represents a consonantal sound, specifically "y" or "Y", in the Berber languages it serves. In digital text, U+2D5D plays a crucial role in ensuring accurate representation of these languages and their rich cultural heritage by providing an appropriate character for the respective phoneme.
