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.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 8092 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character 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 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+1F9C to binary: 00011111 10011100. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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
