Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ϐ has the Unicode code point U+03D0. 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+03D0 to binary:
00000011 11010000. 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+03D0 represents the "Greek Beta Symbol". This symbol is primarily used in the Greek alphabet, where it denotes the fourth letter, "β" or "Beta". As part of the digital text realm, it plays a crucial role in various applications such as linguistics, text encoding, computer programming, and typography. The Beta symbol has deep cultural roots, as it is an essential component of the ancient Greek language, which has significantly influenced Western philosophy, mathematics, science, and literature. In technical contexts, it can also appear in non-Greek usages, such as in mathematical notations or computer programming, where it might be used to represent a specific variable or function. Overall, U+03D0 contributes to the richness of digital communication by enabling accurate representation and exchange of Greek language content across different platforms and devices.
