Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᛧ has the Unicode code point U+16E7. 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+16E7 to binary:
00010110 11100111. 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 10100111

Description
The character U+16E7, known as RUNIC LETTER SHORT-TWIG-YR, holds a significant role in digital text, particularly within the realm of typography and Unicode. As part of the Runic script, it represents an older alphabetic writing system that originated from the Germanic peoples. Typically, this character is employed to symbolize phonetic or semantic elements within text, drawing from its cultural and linguistic roots in Old Norse and other pre-Roman European languages. It has been incorporated into modern digital platforms as a means of preserving these historical scripts and facilitating their use across various technological applications. In terms of technical context, U+16E7 is part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code point for every character, symbol or glyph, thus enabling accurate and consistent representation across diverse languages and platforms.
