Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⴲ has the Unicode code point U+2D32. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2D32 to binary:
00101101 00110010
. 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 10110010
TIFINAGH LETTER YABH·U+2D32

Description
The Unicode character U+2D32 is known as the "TIFINAGH LETTER YABH". Tifinagh is a set of ancient Libyan Berber alphabets that were used by Berber peoples in North Africa to write their languages. This script was originally used for writing classical Latin, and later, it served as a means for recording the Berber languages. The character U+2D32, TIFINAGH LETTER YABH, is part of this alphabet and represents the phoneme /j/ in Tifinagh script. In digital text, the usage of such characters is typically found in applications that require support for Berber languages or other scripts based on the Tifinagh system. Its inclusion in Unicode aids in maintaining cultural and linguistic diversity by facilitating accurate representation of these scripts in modern computing systems.
