Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ὺ has the Unicode code point U+1FEA. 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+1FEA to binary:
00011111 11101010. 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 10111111 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+1FEA represents the Greek Capital Letter Upsilon with Varia (Greek: Υ). This special character is typically used in digital text to represent a specific form of the letter Upsilon, which is an uppercase variant in the Greek alphabet. The Upsilon with Varia is distinct from the standard Upsilon character (U+0394) due to its unique design elements and stylistic features. It may be employed in typographic contexts where a variation or alternative form of the letter is desired, such as for design purposes or to maintain consistency within a specific typeface. While the Upsilon with Varia does not have any particular cultural or linguistic significance, it serves as an important reminder of the rich history and diversity of Greek script in digital communication and text. By using this character, designers and writers can add nuance and variety to their work while maintaining accuracy and adherence to Unicode standards for typography.
