Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᚗ has the Unicode code point U+1697. 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+1697 to binary:
00010110 10010111. 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 10010111

Description
U+1697, also known as Ogham Letter Uilleann, is a symbol with significant historical and linguistic importance. It holds a unique position in the digital text landscape as it is part of the Ogham script, an ancient writing system originating from the Iron Age in Ireland. The Ogham script was primarily used for carving inscriptions on stone monuments and had regional variants across Celtic-speaking territories such as Britain and Gaul. U+1697, or Ogham Letter Uilleann, represents the consonant sound /u/, and it is typically found in inscriptions alongside other Ogham letters that collectively form words or phrases. The character's usage in digital text is crucial for maintaining an accurate representation of historical documents and monuments with Ogham inscriptions. This helps researchers, historians, and linguists to study the Celtic language, culture, and script, providing insights into their unique features and evolution over time. Despite its historical significance, U+1697 has limited contemporary usage and is mostly confined to academic and cultural contexts.
