Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᾓ has the Unicode code point U+1F93. 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+1F93 to binary:
00011111 10010011
. 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 character U+1F93 is the Greek Small Letter Eta with Diasia and Varia and Ypogegrammeni, a unique symbol in the Unicode system that has a specific role within digital text. This typographical element is part of the Extended Greek (U+1F00 – U+1FFF) range of characters, which includes accented letters and various other special glyphs used in the Greek language. The usage of this character is mostly observed in textual fields where Greek dialects are required or desired, such as in linguistic research, digital humanities, translations, or any application that necessitates a comprehensive representation of Greek literature and conversation. In terms of its form, the U+1F93 Greek Small Letter Eta with Diasia and Varia and Ypogegrammeni symbol is characterized by an eta glyph, bearing diasia (a horizontal line), varia (an oblique stroke), and ypogeogrammeni (a vertical stroke). These components serve to differentiate the character from other Greek letters or accented variations, thereby allowing for accurate representation of the intended meaning within the context of the digital text. Despite its unique appearance, U+1F93 does not hold any particular cultural, linguistic, or technical significance beyond its role as a specific glyph in the Greek alphabet. Its usage is primarily dictated by the requirements of the language or field in which it is employed, and its presence within digital text ensures that users can accurately engage with materials and conversations that demand an understanding or appreciation of Greek dialects and their corresponding typographical elements.
