Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ῇ has the Unicode code point U+1FC7. 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+1FC7 to binary:
00011111 11000111. 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 10000111

Description
U+1FC7 is a unique Unicode character representing the Greek small letter Eta with Perispomeni and Ypogegrammeni. This special character is used in digital text to represent the letters "Η" and "η" with specific diacritical marks that denote aspiration and spirantization, respectively. These diacritical marks are essential in the Greek language as they indicate variations in pronunciation. In linguistic contexts, U+1FC7 is crucial for maintaining accurate transcriptions of the Greek language, particularly in academic texts, translations, and digital humanities projects. Technically, this Unicode character can be applied to any text-editing software or programming language that supports Unicode. However, due to its rarity and specialized usage, U+1FC7 may not be universally supported across all platforms, making it essential for developers and publishers to ensure compatibility when using this character in digital texts.
