Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ϊ has the Unicode code point U+03AA. 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+03AA to binary:
00000011 10101010. 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+03AA, known as "GREEK CAPITAL LETTER IOTA WITH DIALYTIKA," serves a crucial role in digital text representing the ancient Greek language. It is primarily used in academic and historical contexts to transcribe texts from the classical period of Greece, enabling researchers and scholars to study and understand works from this influential civilization. The character is a variant of the Greek letter Iota (U+0399), with an additional diacritical mark (dialytika) signifying a long vowel sound, specifically the "i" sound in the original ancient pronunciation. This specialized character contributes to the preservation and interpretation of linguistic, cultural, and historical aspects of the Greek language by providing accurate representation and differentiation between phonetic nuances.
