Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᾚ has the Unicode code point U+1F9A. 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+1F9A to binary:
00011111 10011010. 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 10011010

Description
The Unicode character U+1F9A, known as the Greek Capital Letter ETA with Psili and Varia and Prosesgegrammeni, serves a significant role in digital text, particularly within linguistic and cultural contexts. This character represents a variation of the Greek letter Epsilon (Ε, ε), which is one of the earliest letters used in the ancient Greek alphabet. In its standard form, it denotes the consonant 'e' or vowel 'e', depending on its position within a word. However, U+1F9A presents an enhanced version with Psili, Varia, and Prosesgegrammeni characteristics that are unique to specific regional dialects or historical periods. These variations in the letter may hold linguistic significance, allowing for more accurate representation of text in certain instances, particularly when dealing with ancient Greek texts or certain modern dialects. The use of U+1F9A within digital text is important for maintaining the integrity and authenticity of these distinct linguistic contexts.
