Description

The Unicode character U+1F97 represents the Greek letter Eta with Dasye, Perispomeni, and Ypogegrammeni (Greek Small Letter Epsilon with Diaeresis, Acute, and Macron). This typographical symbol plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within linguistic contexts that involve the representation of Greek language. Its primary usage is to provide accurate transliteration of words from the Greek language into a digital format. The character is part of a broader effort to expand the Unicode system, which aims to include all writing systems used by humans. By using U+1F97, digital text can more accurately represent the nuanced sounds and meanings found within the Greek language. While not commonly used in everyday communication, this symbol proves crucial for academic, scientific, and historical research purposes where precision and accuracy are essential.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 8087 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+1F97. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+1F97 to binary: 00011111 10010111. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10010111
