Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ῆ has the Unicode code point U+1FC6. 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+1FC6 to binary:
00011111 11000110. 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 10000110

Description
The character U+1FC6, also known as Greek Small Letter Eta with Perisponmeni, is a unique symbol in the Unicode typography system. This specific letter is not commonly used in digital text, but holds significance for those studying or working with ancient and historical texts. The character's designation as 'Perisponmeni' stems from its inclusion in certain early Greek inscriptions, where it was utilized to represent the sound /h/. However, its usage waned over time, making it a rare sight in contemporary typography. Despite its infrequent use, the Greek Small Letter Eta with Perisponmeni remains an important character for scholars and historians who study ancient Greek languages and script.
