Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⒆ has the Unicode code point U+2486. 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+2486 to binary:
00100100 10000110
. 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 10010010 10000110

Description
U+2486 is the Unicode code point for "PARENTHESIZED NUMBER NINETEEN" (ᛥ). This typographical character is part of the ancient runic alphabet known as the Elder Futhark, which was used in the Germanic-speaking regions of Northern Europe during the Early Iron Age. Typically utilized in digital text for historical or linguistic purposes, U+2486 represents an essential component of the runic script system that predates the Latin alphabet in those regions. The Elder Futhark is made up of 24 characters, and the PARENTHESIZED NUMBER NINETEEN holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical context as a crucial element of the historical writing system that laid the foundation for various other runic alphabets such as Younger Futhark and Old English Futhorc.
