Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1AE1. 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+1AE1 to binary:
00011010 11100001. 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:
11100001 10101011 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+1AE1 (CHARACTER 1AE1) holds a significant position in the world of typography and digital text. It is commonly used to represent the "ᛠ" rune, specifically known as "Dæg," in Old Icelandic Fonts. In the context of linguistic and cultural significance, this character forms part of the historical Runic Alphabet system that originated from the Germanic tribes around the 1st century AD. This alphabet was widely used across Northern Europe until the late Middle Ages. Within a technical context, U+1AE1 is considered a part of the Unicode Extended-A block, which was added in version 3.2.0 of the Unicode Standard in 2001 to include additional characters for Old Icelandic and other historic scripts. In digital text, this character is used to display the 'Dæg' rune, which was historically utilized in Old Icelandic texts for various purposes including legal documents, literature, and religious writings. Its usage today primarily serves as a typographical and cultural artifact for linguists, historians, and graphic designers working with Runic or Old Icelandic texts. Overall, U+1AE1 is an essential component of the Unicode system, representing a unique aspect of the rich history of written language in Northern Europe.
