Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⵓ has the Unicode code point U+2D53. 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+2D53 to binary:
00101101 01010011. 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 10010011

Description
U+2D53 is the Unicode code point for Tifinagh Letter Yu, a character from the Tifinagh script. The Tifinagh script is an ancient Berber writing system used to write multiple Berber languages in North Africa and the Sahara region. It has been adapted by various indigenous groups and has served as a script for many different languages throughout history. In digital text, U+2D53 represents the Tifinagh letter "Yu," which is a consonant phoneme and can be used to transcribe the sounds /j/ or /ʝ/ in various Berber dialects. Its usage in digital text helps preserve and promote the rich cultural heritage of North Africa and its indigenous peoples, as well as support linguistic diversity on the internet and in software applications.
