Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ἕ has the Unicode code point U+1F1D. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 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+1F1D to binary:
00011111 00011101. 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:
11100001 10111100 10011101

Description
U+1F1D, the Greek Capital Letter Epsilon with Dasia and Oxia, is a specialized Unicode character that holds significant importance in typography and digital text representation. It is primarily used to transcribe Greek language texts accurately in digital formats, ensuring the preservation of linguistic integrity across various platforms. The character combines two diacritical marks, Dasia (a horizontal line placed above a letter) and Oxia (a horizontal bar that extends below and meets the base of the letter), with the Greek Capital Letter Epsilon (U+0394). This combination provides additional phonetic information or emphasizes specific pronunciation features in certain dialects, aiding in the clear communication of linguistic nuances in Greek texts. By incorporating U+1F1D into digital typography, scholars, linguists, and educators can maintain an accurate representation of archaic or regional variations of the Greek language, preserving cultural and linguistic contexts for future generations.
