Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᾽ has the Unicode code point U+1FBD. 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+1FBD to binary:
00011111 10111101. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+1FBD represents the Greek letter "Koronis" (Γκόρονις). It is a variant of the uppercase Greek letter "Gamma" (Γ) with an additional diagonal stroke extending from its right side. This character is primarily used in digital text to represent the Gamma-like sound "G", specifically in the context of the Attic Greek dialect, which was spoken in ancient Athens. In this dialect, the Koronis script was utilized by scholars and writers for its distinct visual appearance, setting it apart from standard Greek script. However, due to its rarity and specialized usage, U+1FBD is not commonly found outside of academic or historical texts.
