Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᛔ has the Unicode code point U+16D4. 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+16D4 to binary:
00010110 11010100. 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 10010100

Description
U+16D4, also known as RUNIC LETTER DOTTED-P, is a unique character in the Unicode Standard used to represent an ancient symbol from the Runic alphabet. The character is often employed in digital text, particularly in contexts where typography and historical linguistics are emphasized. As part of the Elder Futhark runes, which were used for written communication among Germanic tribes around 150-400 AD, U+16D4 has a significant cultural and linguistic value. It also holds technical importance as it aids in preserving the rich history of human language and communication through its inclusion in modern digital text systems.
