Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ἦ has the Unicode code point U+1F2E. 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+1F2E to binary:
00011111 00101110. 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 10101110

Description
The character U+1F2E, known as "Greek Capital Letter ETA With PSILI And Perisponmeni," plays a significant role in the field of digital text and typography, specifically within the Unicode Standard. This unique character is a variation of the standard Greek capital letter Eta (U+0397) and is used to represent the Eta letter with the addition of PSILI and PERISPOMENI diacritics. In the context of the Greek language, these diacritics are essential in transcribing specific linguistic elements or indicating certain grammatical features within the text. However, its usage is relatively limited outside of specialized fields such as linguistics, historical studies, and digital typography.
