Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ἓ has the Unicode code point U+1F13. 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+1F13 to binary:
00011111 00010011. 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 10010011

Description
U+1F13 is a unique Unicode character representing the Greek small letter epsilon with dasia and varia (Γε). This character holds significance in digital text as it is used to represent the ancient Euboean alphabet, which was an early Greek alphabet used primarily on the island of Euboea. The dasia and varia were decorative elements added to specific letters in the Euboean alphabet, serving as a visual distinction or emphasis. In modern typography and digital text, U+1F13 is often utilized for its aesthetic appeal rather than linguistic necessity, appearing in various design projects, educational materials, and historical texts. It serves as an intriguing example of how typographical elements can evolve over time, reflecting changes in culture, language, and artistic expression.
