Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Γ has the Unicode code point U+0393. 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+0393 to binary:
00000011 10010011. 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:
11001110 10010011

Description
U+0393 (GREEK CAPITAL LETTER GAMMA) is a crucial element in typography and Unicode, serving as the digital representation of the Greek capital letter gamma (Γ). This character plays an integral role in various fields, including linguistics, mathematics, computer science, and cultural studies. In digital text, it is commonly used to transcribe and represent words and phrases from the ancient Greek language, which has significantly influenced modern languages like English, German, and French. Additionally, gamma (Γ) often appears in mathematical notation and algorithms to denote variables or constants, as well as in computer programming languages for variable names or function identifiers. The GREEK CAPITAL LETTER GAMMA contributes to the richness of human communication by facilitating the exchange of ideas from ancient Greek thought and enabling cross-cultural understanding in various academic disciplines.
