Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+12C7. 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+12C7 to binary:
00010010 11000111. 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 10001011 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+12C7 represents the character ᚷ, which is a letter in the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc runic alphabet. This alphabet was used by the Germanic peoples, including the Anglo-Saxons, before the adoption of the Roman alphabet. The character ᚷ specifically denotes the phoneme /s/ or /z/, depending on its position within a word. In digital text, U+12C7 is used for accurate transcription and representation of ancient texts and inscriptions, as well as in modern typography for stylistic purposes and to preserve historical accuracy. The Anglo-Saxon Futhorc alphabet has cultural and linguistic significance, providing insight into the language, history, and cultural practices of the Germanic peoples before the introduction of the Roman alphabet.
