Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ἠ has the Unicode code point U+1F28. 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+1F28 to binary:
00011111 00101000. 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 10101000

Description
U+1F28 represents the Greek Capital Letter Eta with Psi (Ψ), a unique typographical character used in digital text. It plays an essential role in both modern and ancient Greek languages, where it serves as a single-letter representation of the sound /ɛː/ or /ɛ/. This letter is a crucial component of the Greek alphabet, which forms the basis for many other alphabets, including the Latin and Cyrillic scripts. The Greek Capital Letter Eta with Psi (Ψ) can be found in various digital text applications and platforms that support Unicode character encoding, such as websites, documents, and software interfaces. It is especially prominent in educational resources, historical texts, and translations involving ancient or classical Greek literature.
