Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ͵ has the Unicode code point U+0375. 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+0375 to binary:
00000011 01110101. 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+0375 represents the Greek Lower Numeral Sign, a typographical symbol primarily used in digital texts for representing numerical values within the Greek numeral system. This ancient numeral system was extensively utilized in classical Greece before the adoption of Arabic numerals, and it continues to be significant in various fields such as linguistics, history, and archeology. U+0375 is part of a larger set of Greek numerals (U+0370 to U+0379) that have unique shapes and are composed of a combination of Greek letters to represent specific numbers. The usage of these numerals in digital text can help convey historical context or indicate the original language of a source document. Despite its ancient roots, the Greek Lower Numeral Sign remains relevant today for academic research and cultural preservation purposes.
