Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ἑ has the Unicode code point U+1F11. 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+1F11 to binary:
00011111 00010001. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+1F11, known as "GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON WITH DASIA," is a unique and specialized symbol within the realm of digital text. Its primary role lies in representing the Greek letter epsilon (Ε, ε), which carries significant importance in both mathematics and linguistics due to its use in Greek alphabets and as a mathematical constant symbol. The dasha, or "dash," is a diacritical mark commonly added to certain letters in modern Greek handwriting for typographical clarity, but it does not alter the pronunciation or meaning of the letter. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the accurate representation of this distinctive combination within digital text, preserving its cultural and linguistic significance for users who require it. This character is crucial for maintaining accuracy in various fields such as linguistics, digital humanities, and computer programming, where the correct encoding of Greek text is essential.
