Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ἕ has the Unicode code point U+1F15. 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+1F15 to binary:
00011111 00010101. 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 10010101

Description
U+1F15 Greek Small Letter Epsilon with Dasia and Oxia is a typographic character in the Unicode standard, representing a modified form of the Greek letter epsilon (ε). This character is used primarily in digital text for its cultural, linguistic, or technical significance. In the context of the Greek language, it represents a single vowel sound, similar to 'e' in English. The dasia and oxia diacritics, represented by horizontal lines above and below the letter, respectively, are used to indicate changes in pronunciation or length of the vowel sound. In digital text, U+1F15 is often employed in linguistic research, historical documents, or to preserve the original text formatting for translations or transcriptions between languages with different writing systems.
