Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᛰ has the Unicode code point U+16F0. 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+16F0 to binary:
00010110 11110000. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+16F0, known as the RUNIC BELGTHOR SYMBOL, holds a significant place in typography and digital text. This specific symbol represents an archaic rune, which has its roots deeply embedded in ancient Germanic culture. Primarily used for inscriptions on monuments, stones, and other forms of commemoration, the Runic Belghtor Symbol carries historical significance and is often employed to denote the concept of "belonging" or "property". In digital text, the RUNIC BELGTHOR SYMBOL is frequently incorporated into modern fonts, typography, and designs for their aesthetic appeal. However, its usage has expanded beyond mere decoration due to the growing interest in runic alphabets and Norse mythology. While it's not as widely recognized as other Unicode characters, its unique historical context and cultural significance make it a valuable addition to the digital text realm. Despite being relatively unknown among non-specialists, the RUNIC BELGTHOR SYMBOL is an essential component of linguistic and typographic studies. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard facilitates its usage across various platforms and applications, thereby preserving its cultural heritage while expanding its accessibility for future generations.
