Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⴱ has the Unicode code point U+2D31. 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+2D31 to binary:
00101101 00110001. 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 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+2D31 represents the "TIFINAGH LETTER YAB." This character is primarily used in digital text for its role in the Tifinagh script, an ancient Berber alphabet originating from pre-Islamic North Africa. Tifinagh has been adapted and utilized by various Berber tribes over the centuries, including the Tuareg and Amazigh peoples. The script's unique design, featuring angular strokes and a square shape, is well-suited for carving into stone or wood, as seen in historical inscriptions and artifacts. In digital text, U+2D31 contributes to maintaining cultural heritage and promoting linguistic diversity by enabling the accurate representation of Tifinagh texts across various platforms and devices.
