Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ἧ has the Unicode code point U+1F27. 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+1F27 to binary:
00011111 00100111. 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 10100111

Description
U+1F27 is a specialized character in the Unicode system that represents the Greek small letter eta with daseia and perispomeni. It is primarily used in digital text applications related to typography, specifically for displaying historical or alternative forms of Greek letters. The daseia (δασεία) and perispomeni (περισπωμένη) are diacritical marks that were used in ancient Greek script to modify the sound and appearance of certain letters, including eta. In modern Greek, these marks have fallen out of use, but they remain important for scholars studying classical texts or for designers creating typographic works in the style of ancient Greece. The character U+1F27 serves as a valuable tool for accurately representing these historical script features and maintaining the integrity of original documents or designs.
