Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Β has the Unicode code point U+0392. 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+0392 to binary:
00000011 10010010. 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+0392 is the Unicode code point for the Greek Capital Letter Beta (Γ), a character predominantly used in digital texts to represent the β letter of the Greek alphabet. In digital typography, this character is typically employed for its linguistic and cultural significance in various fields such as mathematics, computer science, philosophy, and linguistics. The Greek alphabet serves as the basis for many modern alphabets and has been used to represent numbers in both mathematics and computer programming languages. As a result, the Greek Capital Letter Beta holds historical and technical importance due to its connection with ancient Greece's intellectual achievements and its role in the development of contemporary written communication systems.
