Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ͱ has the Unicode code point U+0371. 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+0371 to binary:
00000011 01110001. 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
U+0371, the Greek Small Letter Heta (γ), is a letter in the Greek alphabet, which has been used since the 8th century BC. Its typical usage includes representing vowel sounds and syllables in Modern Greek, and it also appears in various transliteration systems for adapting non-Greek languages to Greek script. The Heta character holds significance in digital text, as it is essential for accurate representation of textual content in contexts requiring the use of Greek language or scripts. As an integral part of the Unicode Standard, U+0371 ensures cross-platform compatibility and interchangeability of text data across different languages and systems, thus facilitating global communication and information exchange.
