Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ͳ has the Unicode code point U+0372. 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+0372 to binary:
00000011 01110010. 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
U+0372 is the Unicode character code for the Greek Capital Letter Archaic Sampi (Ξ). In digital text, this character is rarely used but holds historical significance in typography and linguistics. The Archaic Sampi letter was an early form of the Greek capital letter Xi (Χ), which evolved over time to its present-day form. In classical Greek inscriptions, it represented a distinct phoneme that had already become archaic by the time of the Hellenistic period. Today, the Archaic Sampi is primarily used for scholarly purposes and in typography projects focused on ancient Greek scripts, allowing readers to appreciate the historical development of the Greek alphabet.
