Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⵟ has the Unicode code point U+2D5F. 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+2D5F to binary:
00101101 01011111. 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 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+2D5F, known as the Tifinagh Letter YATT, is a significant figure in the Tifinagh script. This script is utilized predominantly in the Berber languages spoken across North Africa, particularly within the territories of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya. As an alphabetic character, the Tifinagh Letter YATT represents a consonant sound, specifically the voiced postalveolar trill, in these languages. Although it may appear to be visually similar to Latin letters, Tifinagh script is phonologically distinct and unique, having been developed from the ancient Libyan alphabet around 250-300 CE. The use of this character contributes to the preservation of Berber cultures and languages, as well as aiding in digital text communication for speakers of these languages.
