Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ῟ has the Unicode code point U+1FDF. 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+1FDF to binary:
00011111 11011111. 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 10011111

Description
U+1FDF is the Unicode character code for "GREEK DASIA AND PERISPOMENI", a rare and unique combination of two ancient Greek scripts. In digital text, this character is typically used in specialized contexts, such as typography, linguistics, and historical studies, to represent these antiquated scripts accurately. The Greek Dasia and Perispo meni are from the Cyprus syllabary, a precursor to the modern Greek alphabet, which was used on the island of Cyprus around 1200 BCE. These scripts were inscribed on clay tablets for record-keeping purposes, making them an essential part of the history of written language. Today, the usage of this character is mainly limited to academic or professional contexts that require the accurate representation of ancient Greek scripts. As a result, U+1FDF plays a vital role in preserving and understanding the linguistic and cultural heritage of these early forms of writing.
