Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ῄ has the Unicode code point U+1FC4. 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+1FC4 to binary:
00011111 11000100. 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 10111111 10000100

Description
U+1FC4, or GREEK SMALL LETTER ETA WITH OXIA AND YPOGEGRAMMENI, is a unique character in the Unicode system that serves a specific role within digital text. As part of the Greek alphabet, it represents a variant of the letter eta (uppercase: Η, lowercase: η). The addition of oxia and hypogeogrammeni to the letter indicates that this character is used in the ancient Macedonian dialect. The oxia is an acute accent placed on the initial letter of a word, while the hypogeogrammeni is a diacritical marking found beneath the character. This distinct symbol has cultural significance as it reflects the historical linguistic and literary practices of ancient Macedonia, which was home to numerous scholars, scientists, and historians, including Aristotle and Alexander the Great. In digital text, U+1FC4 is primarily used in specialized research and academic fields focusing on Ancient Greek dialects, history, and culture. It helps maintain accuracy in translations and historical documents, allowing scholars to better understand the nuances of ancient Macedonian language and literature.
