Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᛫ has the Unicode code point U+16EB. 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+16EB to binary:
00010110 11101011. 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 10101011

Description
The Unicode character U+16EB is known as RUNIC SINGLE PUNCTUATION. It's a typographic symbol mainly used in digital text to represent a specific mark commonly found in runic scripts, which were ancient Germanic writing systems predominantly used in Northern Europe from the 1st to the 15th century. This character is utilized primarily for its cultural and historical significance rather than for everyday punctuation or communication purposes in contemporary language use. Its inclusion in digital text usually serves to maintain the authenticity of transcriptions of runic texts, which may be found in academic research papers, historical documents, or digital repositories of ancient scripts.
