Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0379. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 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+0379 to binary:
00000011 01111001. 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:
11001101 10111001

Description
U+0379 is a character in the Unicode standard, representing the Greek letter "Φ" (phi). In digital text, this character is used primarily within the context of the Greek alphabet, which has been utilized since ancient times for various languages, most notably Modern Greek and Ancient Greek. The phi symbol plays a crucial role in mathematics, particularly in fields such as calculus and physics, where it denotes the Greek letter pi, representing the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, a fundamental concept in geometry and trigonometry. Overall, U+0379 (Φ) is an essential symbol with significant cultural, linguistic, and technical relevance across various disciplines.
