Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⴺ has the Unicode code point U+2D3A. 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+2D3A to binary:
00101101 00111010. 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 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+2D3A represents the Tifinagh letter YADDH, a crucial component of the Tifinagh script. Tifinagh is an ancient Berber writing system used in pre-Arabic Maghreb and modern Berber languages. This symbol finds its role primarily in digital text for rendering texts in these languages accurately. The Tifinagh script has strong cultural significance as it showcases the rich historical heritage of North African countries, including Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Mauritania, where Berber languages are spoken. YADDH, as a letter, contributes to the phonetic structure of these languages, representing a consonantal sound 'y' or 'j'. The character U+2D3A is part of the Tifinagh script block in Unicode, which consists of 144 characters and was added in version 5.0 of the standard to support modern digital communication across various platforms in these regions.
