Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᾛ has the Unicode code point U+1F9B. 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+1F9B to binary:
00011111 10011011. 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 10111110 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+1F9B, Greek Capital Letter Eta with Daseia and Varia and Prosgeggrammeni, is a unique typographic symbol that plays a crucial role in the digital representation of ancient Greek texts. This character is primarily used in academic and linguistic contexts for accurate transcription and preservation of historical documents. It represents an archaic form of the letter Eta (Η), one of the 24 letters in the Greek alphabet, and includes additional diacritics such as Daseia (a horizontal line through the letter), Varia (a dot above or below the letter), and Prosgeggrammeni (a vertical stroke through the letter). These modifications were commonly employed in ancient Greek manuscripts for various purposes like marking pronunciation, phonetic variations, or grammatical structures. As a result, U+1F9B is an essential tool for scholars and researchers studying ancient Greek literature and language, ensuring accurate translation and analysis of primary sources while maintaining cultural and linguistic integrity.
