From Daniel Rust, Aug 18 2018: (Start)
This word is the fixed point of the morphism 0->2, 1->01, 2->2201 with the finite string 0, 1, 2, 0, 1 appended to the beginning. This morphism comes from taking the 'proper' version of the Fibonacci morphism 0->01, 1->1, given by 0->001, 1->01 (A189661 but with the rightmost 0 moved to the left of each image word), then replacing 001 with 2 and noting that the new symbol 2 should map to 00100101 = 2201 in order to be consistent.
The finite string appended to the beginning comes from the process of finding a proper version of the Fibonacci morphism using a return word encoding and taking conjugates which causes a shift of the respective fixed points.
(End)
This sequence is the unique fixed point of the morphism 0->01, 1->2, 2->0122. See the paragraph following Lemma 23 in the paper by Allouche and me. - Michel Dekking, Oct 05 2018

EXAMPLE
As a word, A003849 = 01001010010010100..., and replacing each 001 by 2 gives 01201220120...
