Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0B81. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+0B81 to binary:
00001011 10000001
. 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:
11100000 10101110 10000001

Description
U+0B81 is a Unicode character code point that represents the character 'ᛠ'. This character is part of the Elder Futhark runic alphabet, which was used by the Germanic peoples in Northern Europe for various purposes such as inscription, writing, and communication between tribes. The Elder Futhark script was succeeded by the Younger Futhark and then the Younger Futhark Runes, which were further developed into several regional rune alphabets, including the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc. Although not widely used in modern digital text, U+0B81 has historical significance and is appreciated by enthusiasts of typography and historical linguistics.
