Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᛮ has the Unicode code point U+16EE. 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+16EE to binary:
00010110 11101110. 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 10011011 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+16EE, known as the RUNIC ARLAUG SYMBOL, is a typographical glyph that holds significant cultural and historical importance. Derived from the ancient runic alphabet of the Old Norse language, this symbol plays a key role in digital text representation. The Runic Arlaug Symbol specifically represents the letter 'ᚆ' in the Younger Futhark script, which was used primarily in the Viking Age between the 8th and 12th centuries. This character has been utilized extensively in academic texts, historical research, and cultural preservation projects to accurately transcribe and study ancient runic inscriptions. The inclusion of the Runic Arlaug Symbol in digital text demonstrates an appreciation for linguistic diversity and a commitment to preserving the legacy of our ancestral languages.
