Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ἥ has the Unicode code point U+1F2D. 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+1F2D to binary:
00011111 00101101. 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 10101101

Description
U+1F2D Greek Capital Letter Eta with Dasia and Oxia is a unique Unicode character that combines the uppercase Greek letter eta (uppercase Η) with the diacritical marks dasyeis (diasia, δάσια) and oxia (οξεία). This character is mainly used in digital text for typographical purposes or to display specific linguistic features. In ancient Greek manuscripts, dasia and oxia were used as word separators, helping readers distinguish between words. However, today they are mostly used in modern Greek typesetting and text formatting for aesthetic reasons. By combining the eta with these diacritical marks, U+1F2D allows for more expressive and historically accurate typography in digital texts.
