Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⴰ has the Unicode code point U+2D30. 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+2D30 to binary:
00101101 00110000. 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 10110100 10110000

Description
The TIFINAGH LETTER YA (U+2D30) is a character from the Tifinagh script, an ancient Berber alphabet used predominantly in North Africa, specifically among the Tuareg, Tamazight, and other Berber communities. Tifinagh has been adapted over time to write multiple languages such as Tamazight, Kabyle, and Tarifit, making it a vital aspect of Berber cultural heritage. U+2D30 or "TIFINAGH LETTER YA" is a key part of this script, representing the phoneme /ja/ or a palatal approximant [j] in these languages. In digital text, this character provides accuracy and cultural context for works written in Tifinagh, preserving its historical and linguistic significance in the modern era.
