Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⵉ has the Unicode code point U+2D49. 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+2D49 to binary:
00101101 01001001. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+2D49 represents the Tifinagh Letter YI (ࣼ). Tifinagh is a ancient Libyan alphabet that was developed by the Berber people of North Africa. It has been used for various languages over its history, including Tuareg, Kabyle, and other Berber dialects. The U+2D49 Tifinagh Letter YI is part of this alphabet, which now includes the Unicode range from U+1EE00 to U+1EEFF, reflecting a growing interest in preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of the Berber people. In digital text, U+2D49 plays a crucial role in accurately representing texts written in Tifinagh script, ensuring that these languages are not lost or distorted. As a result, the use of Unicode characters like U+2D49 is essential for linguistic and cultural preservation efforts.
