Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0BD2. 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+0BD2 to binary:
00001011 11010010. 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 10101111 10010010

Description
U+0BD2 is a Unicode character representing the letter "ᛒ". This letter, known as the runic alphabet character Dagaz (or D), has significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance in the context of the Old Norse language and the broader Germanic family of languages. Historically, it was used to represent the phoneme /d/, but its primary role in digital text is symbolic rather than functional. It serves as a testament to the rich history and tradition of runic writing systems and their impact on modern typography and character encoding standards. Today, U+0BD2 is often employed in scholarly works and historical texts for its cultural significance and to preserve the ancient script's legacy.
