Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᚃ has the Unicode code point U+1683. 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+1683 to binary:
00010110 10000011. 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 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+1683, OGHAM LETTER FEARN, is a typographical symbol primarily used in the ancient Celtic script called Ogham. This script was utilized predominantly in Ireland and parts of Britain during the 4th to 7th centuries AD for inscriptions on stones. The Ogham script comprises a set of 20 characters, including U+1683, arranged along a notch-counting system similar to an abugida. While it's primarily associated with the ancient Celtic culture, its usage today remains mainly within digital text, particularly for historical and linguistic research purposes. Its cultural significance lies in its role as a window into the language and history of the early Irish and British people, offering insights into their writing system, beliefs, and society.
