Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᾜ has the Unicode code point U+1F9C. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1F9C to binary:
00011111 10011100
. 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 10011100

Description
The character U+1F9C represents the Greek capital letter Eta with PsilI and Oxia and Prosgegrammeni in Unicode typography. This specific character is a variation of the standard Greek capital letter Eta, which is denoted by the code point U+0397 in the Unicode standard. The addition of the diacritical marks PsilI (U+03AD), Oxia (U+03AC), and Prosgegrammeni (U+0382) to Eta signifies a more complex and nuanced representation, often used in digital texts for specific linguistic or technical contexts. The character combination U+1F9C is essential in Greek-language documents, such as academic works, historical texts, or literature that requires the accurate representation of ancient or classical forms of the Greek language. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and fidelity of these texts for readers who are familiar with this specific form of the Eta character.
