Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1680. 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+1680 to binary:
00010110 10000000. 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 10000000

Description
The Ogham Space Mark (U+1680) is a specialized character primarily used in digital typography for Unicode processing. It serves as a spacer within the Ogham script, which was an early Celtic alphabet used predominantly in ancient Ireland and Britain. This space mark enables text editors to correctly interpret and process the Ogham characters when they appear in text strings. The Ogham Space Mark is critical for maintaining the integrity of historical texts written in Ogham and facilitating their accurate translation or transcription into modern languages. In today's digital landscape, it plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting our understanding of ancient Celtic cultures and their unique scripts.
