Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1AE3. 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+1AE3 to binary:
00011010 11100011. 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 10100011

Description
U+1AE3 is a character from the Unicode standard that represents the letter 'ᛚ' (thorn) in the Old Icelandic runic alphabet. It has a significant role in digital text, particularly within historical and linguistic contexts, as it is used for rendering the Old Icelandic language which predates the modern Icelandic alphabet. Thorn (ᛚ), represented by U+1AE3, was also utilized in Middle English before being replaced by the letter 'Y'. Its use in digital text allows for accurate representation of historical texts and manuscripts written in Old Icelandic or any language that incorporates this character for typographical purposes.
