Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⵧ has the Unicode code point U+2D67. 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+2D67 to binary:
00101101 01100111. 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 10100111

Description
The TIFINAGH LETTER YO (U+2D67) is a typographical character primarily used in the Tifinagh script, an alphabet native to the Berber people of North Africa. It plays a crucial role in digital text as it serves as a visual representation of the voiceless palatal fricative consonant sound /ʝ/ or /ɥ/. This letter is of great importance in the Berber language, which has various dialects and is spoken by millions of people across Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Mauritania, and other North African countries. Tifinagh script has a rich history dating back to pre-Islamic times when it was adopted from the Latin script as a means to write Berber languages. Today, Tifinagh serves not only for language preservation but also as an emblem of cultural pride and identity. In digital text, this character may be used in linguistic studies, cultural research, or any context where a Berber language is spoken or written.
