Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character η has the Unicode code point U+03B7. 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+03B7 to binary:
00000011 10110111. 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:
11001110 10110111

Description
U+03B7 is the Unicode character representing the Greek small letter eta (Ή, η). This character plays a significant role in digital text, as it is used to transcribe and represent the ancient Greek alphabet, specifically the eta, which is one of the 24 letters in the modern Greek alphabet. The Greek alphabet has been widely adopted across various fields such as mathematics, science, and technology due to its historical significance and use in various languages. In linguistic and cultural contexts, the eta character represents a stop consonant in the ancient Greek language, which has influenced the development of modern Greek phonology. The accurate usage of U+03B7 contributes to preserving the integrity of text containing ancient or modern Greek words and phrases in digital media.
