Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⴷ has the Unicode code point U+2D37. 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+2D37 to binary:
00101101 00110111. 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 10110111

Description
The Unicode character U+2D37 represents the "TIFINAGH LETTER YAD", an alphabetic symbol used in Tifinagh script. Tifinagh is a writing system that originated in ancient North Africa, primarily used by Berber-speaking communities. The script is characterized by its angular and geometric forms, which have been adapted over time to represent various languages, including Amazigh (Berber), Tuareg, and other local languages. U+2D37, or TIFINAGH LETTER YAD, plays a crucial role in preserving the linguistic identity and cultural heritage of these communities. It is used to denote the phoneme /j/ or /y/, depending on the particular dialect being written. In the digital text domain, U+2D37 helps maintain typographical accuracy and consistency across various platforms, ensuring proper representation of Tifinagh language texts for both native speakers and non-native learners.
