Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⵣ has the Unicode code point U+2D63. 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+2D63 to binary:
00101101 01100011. 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 10100011

Description
The Tifinagh Letter YaZ (U+2D63) is a character from the Tifinagh script, an ancient Berber writing system used across North Africa. Primarily utilized in digital text for typographical purposes, it serves as a representation of the consonant /j/ or /y/ sound. Tifinagh script has its roots in the pre-Islamic era and has been adapted to write multiple languages such as Tuareg, Berber, and Hassaniya. The script is known for its adaptability, resilience, and rich cultural history. Although its usage has diminished over time due to the influence of Arabic script, efforts are being made to revive and preserve Tifinagh in various regions. In digital text, U+2D63 provides an essential tool for linguists, anthropologists, and historians studying these languages and scripts.
