Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⴴ has the Unicode code point U+2D34. 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+2D34 to binary:
00101101 00110100
. 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 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+2D34, TIFINAGH LETTER YAGHH, is an essential symbol within the Tifinagh script, which is used to write various Berber languages in North Africa, including Tuareg and Kabyle. This character plays a crucial role in preserving these linguistic traditions, as it forms part of a system that predates modern Arabic numerals. Tifinagh has been adapted from the Phoenician alphabet, with some elements originating from ancient Libyan scripts. The script is known for its resilience and adaptability, having evolved over thousands of years while maintaining its core structure. In digital text, U+2D34 contributes to accurate transcription and representation of Berber languages in the realm of computing and technology. As a result, it is essential for preserving cultural heritage and facilitating communication among Berber-speaking communities worldwide.
