Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᛕ has the Unicode code point U+16D5. 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+16D5 to binary:
00010110 11010101. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+16D5 represents the RUNIC LETTER OPEN-P (ᚷ). This symbol is primarily used in digital text for typography purposes, specifically within the realm of Runic alphabets. The Runic alphabet system originated from the ancient Germanic tribes and played a significant role in Old Norse culture. It consists of 16 to 32 characters, with U+16D5 being one of its core elements. Although it doesn't hold any modern linguistic function, the RUNIC LETTER OPEN-P remains an important symbol within historical and cultural contexts. The character is widely used in digital humanities and historical linguistics research to decipher ancient Runic inscriptions. In terms of technical aspects, U+16D5 is part of the 'Runes' block (U+16A0 - U+16FF) within the Unicode Standard, ensuring its accurate representation across various digital platforms.
