Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᾞ has the Unicode code point U+1F9E. 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+1F9E to binary:
00011111 10011110
. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+1F9E, also known as GREEK CAPITAL LETTER ETA WITH PSILI AND PERISPOMENI AND PROSGEGRAMMENI, holds significant importance in digital text and typography. This special character plays a pivotal role in the representation of the Greek language, specifically with its usage in words where the letter "eta" is followed by specific combinations of accent marks. The PSILI, PERISPOMENI, and PROSGEGRAMMENI accents provide crucial information on how the preceding vowel should be pronounced or stressed in a word, thus contributing to the overall clarity and accuracy of written Greek texts. Although it may not be frequently used due to its specialized context, U+1F9E remains a valuable tool for those working with Greek language materials, especially in digital media and text processing systems.
