Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᾂ has the Unicode code point U+1F82. 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+1F82 to binary:
00011111 10000010. 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 10000010

Description
The character U+1F82, or "GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH PSILI AND VARIA AND YPOGEGRAMMENI," holds a unique position in digital text due to its specialized use within the Greek language. As an advanced typographical element, it combines three distinct features: the PSILI (a diacritical mark), the VARIA (representing a long vowel), and the YPOGEGRAMMENI (a modifier). This combination is utilized in transcription systems like the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to accurately represent specific phonetic characteristics of Greek words. In linguistic and cultural contexts, this character plays an essential role in facilitating accurate pronunciation and understanding for non-native speakers or researchers studying the Greek language. Its technical implementation requires proficiency in Unicode standards to ensure proper rendering and display across various digital platforms.
