Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᛝ has the Unicode code point U+16DD. 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+16DD to binary:
00010110 11011101. 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 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+16DD represents the RUNIC LETTER ING (ᚧ), a letter from the Elder Futhark runic alphabet. Primarily used in digital text for linguistic, historical, or cultural contexts, this character is essential for the accurate representation of Old Norse and other Germanic languages that utilize the Elder Futhark script. The Elder Futhark runes, including ING, were widely employed between 150 BCE and 800 CE, serving as a writing system in the pre-Christian Germanic cultures across Scandinavia and northern Europe. Today, characters like U+16DD continue to play a crucial role in preserving and studying the linguistic heritage of these ancient civilizations.
