Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ἒ has the Unicode code point U+1F1A. 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+1F1A to binary:
00011111 00011010. 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 10011010

Description
The Unicode character U+1F1A, also known as "GREEK CAPITAL LETTER EPSILON WITH PSILI AND VARIA," is a specialized typographical symbol used primarily in digital text for Greek language transcription and representation. Its primary role lies in its ability to convey distinct phonetic or grammatical nuances that are unique to the Greek language. Specifically, the character denotes the sound "e" with a PSILI (a single fricative) at the end of words. This particular variant is not commonly used in everyday digital communication but holds significant importance within the fields of linguistics, historical research, and textual analysis for its precise representation of Greek language phonetics and grammar. The U+1F1A character serves as an indispensable tool for accurately representing the Greek language's rich phonetic and grammatical characteristics in digital contexts, thus contributing to a more inclusive and accurate digital lexicon for this ancient yet influential linguistic system.
