Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᚙ has the Unicode code point U+1699. 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+1699 to binary:
00010110 10011001. 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 10011001

Description
U+1699 (OGHAM LETTER EAMHANCHOLL) is a character in the Unicode Standard, specifically in the Ogham block. This specific character represents an archaic letter used in the early Irish writing system known as Ogham or Ogam. Ogham was a system of writing that primarily recorded names and dates, and it was carved onto stones, wood, and metal objects. The script consisted of a series of notches on a single horizontal line, and each group of notches represented individual letters. The Ogham script has its roots in the Celtic culture of Ireland, and its letters were derived from Latin alphabet. OGHAM LETTER EAMHANCHOLL is one such letter that was part of this ancient Irish system. It has a distinct cultural significance, as it reflects the unique linguistic and historical aspects of early Ireland. In digital text, U+1699 serves as a way to represent this specific Ogham letter in various platforms and applications. This allows for the accurate representation of early Irish language texts and enables scholars to study and analyze ancient Celtic culture and history. By providing a standardized code for such a unique character, Unicode supports the preservation and dissemination of cultural heritage.
