Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ἐ has the Unicode code point U+1F10. 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+1F10 to binary:
00011111 00010000. 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:

Description
The Unicode character U+1F10 represents the Greek letter "epsilon with psili" (ϵ̩), also known as "GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON WITH PSILI". In digital text, this unique symbol is primarily used in linguistic and typographical contexts where a distinction needs to be made between the standard epsilon (ε) and its variant with the added psili diacritic. The psili, a small vertical line above the letter, can denote various things depending on the language or context it's used in. It may signify an emphasis on the syllable it's attached to, mark an instance of phonological assimilation, or indicate an alternation in pronunciation. U+1F10 is a valuable addition to Unicode, as it allows for greater precision and accuracy in digital texts that involve Greek language or typography, thus contributing to the richness and diversity of online communication.
