Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ϳ has the Unicode code point U+037F. 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+037F to binary:
00000011 01111111. 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:
11001101 10111111

Description
The Unicode character U+037F is known as the Greek Capital Letter Yot (Υ υ). It is primarily used in the Greek language for representing a specific vowel sound, similar to the English 'u'. As part of the Greek alphabet, it plays a significant role in digital text where Greek is used. The character is also widely recognized and utilized in various linguistic and cultural contexts, particularly in fields such as computer science, information technology, and humanities where knowledge of different scripts is essential. Due to its unique phonetic properties, the Yot is often used in transliteration and transcription of Greek texts into other languages, allowing for accurate representation of both the sound and meaning of original words.
