Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ϩ has the Unicode code point U+03E8. 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+03E8 to binary:
00000011 11101000. 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+03E8 represents the COPTIC CAPITAL LETTER HORI (ᾮ), which is a part of the Coptic alphabet used to write the Coptic language. This ancient script was primarily employed in writing Middle Egyptian and Old Nubian languages, as well as the liturgical texts of the Coptic Orthodox Church. In digital text, U+03E8 is utilized for accurate representation of historical documents and religious literature in these languages. The Coptic alphabet is unique for its usage of both Greek and Demotic influences in its development, which contributes to its distinct cultural and linguistic context. As a result, U+03E8 plays an essential role in preserving and understanding the rich history of the Coptic language and its associated cultures.
