Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⵊ has the Unicode code point U+2D4A. 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+2D4A to binary:
00101101 01001010. 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 10001010

Description
U+2D4A TIFINAGH LETTER YAZH is a typographical character belonging to the Tifinagh script, which is an ancient Libyan Berber writing system used primarily in North Africa. In digital text, it serves as a fundamental element of the Tifinagh alphabet and represents the phoneme /y/, a consonantal sound commonly found in various Berber languages. This character plays a significant role in preserving and promoting cultural heritage, as it facilitates the representation of these languages in written form on modern digital platforms. Despite its historical roots, Tifinagh script has experienced resurgence in recent years due to efforts by UNESCO and other organizations aiming to revitalize endangered languages and promote linguistic diversity.
