Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ϴ has the Unicode code point U+03F4. 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+03F4 to binary:
00000011 11110100. 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+03F4 represents the Greek Capital Theta Symbol (Γ). This symbol is typically used in digital text for its phonetic value in transliteration systems, as it corresponds to the English /θ/ sound. Its usage can be found in various fields, such as linguistics, programming, and information technology. In linguistic contexts, the Greek Capital Theta Symbol is used in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) for representing specific phonetic sounds. Additionally, it is employed in Unicode normalization processes and character encoding standards to ensure accurate representation of text across different platforms and devices. By utilizing this versatile symbol, practitioners from various disciplines can effectively communicate and analyze linguistic nuances while maintaining cultural integrity and technical precision.
