Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+125E. 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+125E to binary:
00010010 01011110. 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 10001001 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+125E (CHARACTER 125E) is an essential typographical element in the digital text realm. Its primary function lies within the confines of the Ogham script, a unique ancient writing system primarily used by the Celts in Ireland and parts of Britain. This particular symbol represents the letter "Nu" or "N," which denotes the sound 'n' as found in modern English. In terms of its cultural significance, the Ogham script holds historical importance, providing insights into early Celtic society and language practices. Despite its antiquity, U+125E remains a vital component for those studying ancient languages or examining the development of writing systems. The character's presence in digital text allows for more inclusive communication and the preservation of linguistic heritage.
