Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ἓ has the Unicode code point U+1F1B. 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+1F1B to binary:
00011111 00011011. 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 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+1F1B, known as "GREEK CAPITAL LETTER EPSILON WITH DASIA AND VARIA," is a specialized symbol in digital text, specifically within the Greek alphabet. It serves a crucial role in typography and linguistics, particularly for those who study or engage with the ancient Greek language. The character combines the forms of an uppercase epsilon (Ε) with dieresis (diaeresis) marks, represented by the dasia (ˇ) and varia (˘), which indicate that both vowels are pronounced separately. This unique combination is mainly used in linguistic studies, historical texts, or modern Greek transliteration.
