Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᾀ has the Unicode code point U+1F80. 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+1F80 to binary:
00011111 10000000. 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:

Description
The Unicode character U+1F80, known as the "Greek Small Letter Alpha with Psiili and Ypogegrammeni", is a specialized typographic symbol used primarily in digital text for its unique linguistic function within the Greek alphabet. This distinctive character combines two components, the 'alpha' which represents the first letter of the Greek alphabet and holds significant cultural and historical value, and the 'psiili' and 'ypogegrammeni', which are diacritical marks used to modify the base letter in specific contexts. The combination of these elements makes U+1F80 a specialized character, primarily employed within digital texts for its specific linguistic purpose rather than general use. This unique symbol serves as an essential tool for precise communication and representation of certain concepts within Greek language and literature.
