Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⴾ has the Unicode code point U+2D3E. 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+2D3E to binary:
00101101 00111110. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+2D3E, known as TIFINAGH LETTER TUAREG YAK, is a specialized alphabetic symbol used primarily in digital text. It holds significant cultural and linguistic importance within the Tuareg communities of the Saharan and Sahel regions of Africa. The Tifinagh script, from which this character originates, is an ancient Berber writing system that has been adapted by various indigenous groups across North Africa for millennia. Despite being used as a visual representation in digital texts, the practical usage of U+2D3E TIFINAGH LETTER TUAREG YAK is more symbolic than functional, serving as an identifier for Tuareg cultural heritage and language preservation efforts. The character does not possess technical context outside its typographical role within the digital realm and represents a single letter in the Tifinagh alphabet.
