Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⵰ has the Unicode code point U+2D70. 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+2D70 to binary:
00101101 01110000. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+2D70 is known as the TIFINAGH SEPARATOR MARK. This typographical entity primarily serves as a spacing control character in digital text, ensuring appropriate separation between various elements within a text document or online content. It is particularly associated with the Tifinagh script, which is used to write several Berber languages spoken across North Africa and the Sahara region. While U+2D70 may appear infrequently in general digital text usage, it plays a crucial role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and readability within texts written in Tifinagh script. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures support for these scripts in various computing environments, thereby preserving cultural heritage and facilitating cross-platform compatibility.
