Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᚕ has the Unicode code point U+1695. 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+1695 to binary:
00010110 10010101. 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 10011010 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+1695, known as OGHAM LETTER EABHADH, is a significant element in the Ogham script system. Ogham is an ancient writing system that was primarily used by the Celtic people across various regions such as Ireland, Britain, and parts of continental Europe. This character specifically represents the sound 'E' or 'ae.' The script is unique for its use of notches rather than a conventional alphabetic system, providing insight into early European prehistoric writing techniques. While Ogham script is no longer in widespread use, it holds significant cultural and historical value, particularly within Celtic studies and Irish history. In the digital text realm, U+1695 serves as an essential tool for scholars, historians, and linguists who work with ancient texts, enabling accurate representation and analysis of historical documents written in Ogham script.
