Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⴻ has the Unicode code point U+2D3B. 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+2D3B to binary:
00101101 00111011. 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 10111011

Description
The Unicode character U+2D3B, known as TIFINAGH LETTER YEY, is an essential component of the Tifinagh script, which is used to write multiple Berber languages in North Africa. This script has a rich history dating back to ancient times, with roots in the pre-Phoenician Libyco-Berber script. In digital text, TIFINAGH LETTER YEY plays a crucial role as it represents a phoneme /j/ in these Berber languages, contributing to their distinct pronunciation and intonation. The character is a part of the Tifinagh block (U+2D30 to U+2D4F), which was added to Unicode version 5.1 in 2008 to support the representation of Berber languages in digital environments.
