Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᚒ has the Unicode code point U+1692. 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+1692 to binary:
00010110 10010010. 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 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+1692 represents the Ogham letter Ur. This letter is primarily used in the ancient Celtic script called Ogham, which was employed for writing Old Irish and other Brittonic languages between the 1st and 13th centuries AD. In digital text, U+1692 serves as a typographical representation of this historical character, preserving its form for the purposes of modern scholarship, documentation, and cultural preservation. The Ogham script is noted for its unique system of carving stones with vertical lines in different lengths to represent individual letters, which were then read from the bottom up or vice versa, depending on the specific arrangement. Although U+1692 has limited usage in contemporary typography, it remains an important symbol of Celtic culture and linguistics, providing researchers and enthusiasts with a valuable tool for studying ancient Irish literature and history.
