Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ϒ has the Unicode code point U+03D2. 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+03D2 to binary:
00000011 11010010. 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+03D2 represents the Greek letter "Upsilon with Hook" (ϛ). This symbol is often used in digital texts for various purposes, primarily within the realm of typography and linguistics. In classical Greek, Upsilon was the 21st letter of the alphabet, but over time its usage has evolved. The Upsilon with Hook (ϛ) is a modified version of the traditional Upsilon (Υ, U+03D1) and is used in various mathematical and scientific texts to denote different concepts. For instance, it can represent the unit element in abstract algebra or a specific type of derivative in calculus. Its usage in these fields highlights its versatility and importance within the realm of digital text. As with all Unicode characters, U+03D2 is an essential tool for accurate representation across various languages, cultural contexts, and technical applications.
