Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ἣ has the Unicode code point U+1F2B. 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+1F2B to binary:
00011111 00101011. 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 10101011

Description
The Unicode character U+1F2B, known as "GREEK CAPITAL LETTER ETA WITH DASIA AND VARIA", is a specialized letter within the Greek alphabet. In digital text, this character is primarily used to represent the uppercase form of the Greek letter eta (Η), along with two diacritical marks - dasia and varia. The dasia (Δ) is an ancient symbol that represented "ten," while the varia (ϝ) was a letter in the now obsolete Old Attic script. The combination of these symbols in U+1F2B reflects the historical evolution of the Greek alphabet and its numeral system, showcasing the rich cultural heritage and linguistic diversity of ancient Greece. Its usage is often found in academic contexts or specialized documents related to classical studies and typography.
