Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᾕ has the Unicode code point U+1F95. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1F95 to binary:
00011111 10010101
. 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 10010101

Description
U+1F95 is a specialized Unicode character representing the Greek letter Eta (Η) with specific diacritical marks known as Dasia, Oxa, and Ypogegrammeni. In digital text, it plays a vital role in accurately conveying the intended meaning of words or phrases within the Greek language. This particular combination of characters is primarily used in typography for transcription purposes, such as in linguistic research, translation work, and historical texts. It allows for precise representation of specific dialects or ancient forms of the Greek alphabet. U+1F95's usage also extends to modern typefaces, where it serves as an example of how diacritical marks can be used to denote nuances in pronunciation, stress, or tone within the language.
