Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ἑ has the Unicode code point U+1F19. 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+1F19 to binary:
00011111 00011001. 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 10011001

Description
The Unicode character U+1F19, known as GREEK CAPITAL LETTER EPSILON WITH DASIA, is a unique typographical element in the Greek alphabet. In digital text, it primarily serves to represent the letter epsilon with an added daseia marking. The daseia is a diacritical mark found in Ancient and Medieval Greek manuscripts, denoting a long vowel sound or serving as a distinguishing feature for certain words. Its use is significant in linguistic, cultural, and historical contexts, particularly for scholars of ancient languages or those studying classical texts. The character's inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures accurate representation and preservation of these nuances in digital formats.
