Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ή has the Unicode code point U+03AE. 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+03AE to binary:
00000011 10101110. 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+03AE, known as Greek Small Letter Eta with Tonos, plays a significant role in digital text by representing the tonalized form of the Greek letter eta (uppercase: Η, lowercase: η). It is an integral component of the Greek alphabet and language, which is primarily used to write Modern Greek and other regional dialects. The character is widely employed in various applications, including academic research, digital publishing, and computer programming that involves text encoding with Unicode. U+03AE is part of a larger group of Greek characters with tonos marks, which indicate the pitch or tone in the pronunciation of words in the Greek language. Accurate representation of these tonal markers is essential for proper interpretation and understanding of the written content in the Greek-speaking world. In summary, U+03AE is a vital component in digital text that accurately reflects the tonalized form of the Greek letter eta, contributing to the preservation and continuity of Greek language and culture.
