Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᛐ has the Unicode code point U+16D0. 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+16D0 to binary:
00010110 11010000. 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:

Description
U+16D0 is the Unicode code point for RUNIC LETTER SHORT-TWIG-TYR T, a glyph derived from the Elder Futhark script, which was used in Germanic runes between 150 BCE and 800 CE. In digital text, this character is often employed in typography and design projects that require historical or cultural references to ancient Germanic languages and scripts. Its use can contribute to a sense of antiquity and connection with the past in various contexts such as branding, logo design, book covers, and educational materials. As part of the Elder Futhark script, U+16D0 has cultural significance for scholars studying ancient Germanic languages and runes, as well as enthusiasts of typography and linguistics. The character is an essential component in understanding the development of early writing systems and the evolution of alphabets over time.
