Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+171E. 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+171E to binary:
00010111 00011110. 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 10011100 10011110

Description
U+171E, also known as the character ᚯ, is a unique typographic symbol primarily found within the Old Italic script. It has been utilized historically to represent specific sounds in ancient Italic languages such as Latin, Sabine, and Umbrian. In digital text formats, this Unicode character can serve various purposes, including its use in typography and linguistic studies for historical or academic purposes. Due to its rarity in modern usage, it may not have a significant role in contemporary digital text but holds great value as an artifact of the Old Italic script's cultural heritage.
