Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ν has the Unicode code point U+039D. 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+039D to binary:
00000011 10011101. 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+039D (GREEK CAPITAL LETTER NU) is a character from the Unicode standard used to represent the Greek capital letter nu in digital text. In the Greek alphabet, Nu (Ν, ν) is the 14th letter and holds significant linguistic and cultural importance. Historically, it represented the consonant sound /n/, but in Modern Greek, it only represents a nasalized vowel sound /n/. As part of the Greek alphabet, U+039D Nu plays a vital role in encoding classical literature, historical texts, mathematical notations (delimiters), and various technical applications that require use of the Greek script. Its usage is prevalent in academia, language studies, and fields such as computer science, engineering, and mathematics where Greek letters are used for notation. U+039D Nu is a key character in maintaining linguistic accuracy and fostering cultural understanding in digital environments.
