Illustrator 2024 & SVG Formats

In 2024 (Illustrator 28.6 through 28.7.1), Adobe experimented with changing the format of exported SVG files. With the release of Illustrator 2025, Illustrator has reverted back to the original format.

The permanent format is called Data-Name, and the temporary format was called x2F.
