Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᚑ has the Unicode code point U+1691. 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+1691 to binary:
00010110 10010001. 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 10010001

Description
U+1691, also known as Ogham Letter Onn, is a rare character used predominantly in the field of typography and digital text. In its traditional role, it was a part of the ancient Ogham script, which was primarily used in Ireland and parts of Britain during the Early Medieval period, from approximately the 2nd century AD to the 16th century AD. The Ogham script is composed of a set of consonantal characters that were carved on stones or inscribed on wooden tablets as a means of recording language, typically Old Irish. U+1691 specifically represents the 'Onn' sound, which is derived from the combination of the letters "O" and "N." Today, this character is primarily utilized by typographers, linguists, and researchers studying ancient languages and scripts. It holds significant value as a piece of cultural and historical context, providing insights into early European writing systems and contributing to our understanding of ancient Celtic culture.
