Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᾔ has the Unicode code point U+1F94. 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+1F94 to binary:
00011111 10010100
. 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 10111110 10010100

Description
U+1F94 is a unique character in the Unicode standard that represents the Greek letter "Ετα" (Greek Small Letter Eta) with a combination of diacritical marks known as the Breathing Mark (Ψιλή), Accent (Oξεία), and Hypodasia or Ypogegrammeni. This character is primarily used in digital text for typographical purposes, to convey specific nuances in pronunciation or meaning of Greek words. Its usage is predominantly found in translations, academic works, and linguistic studies that require accurate representation of ancient or modern Greek texts. The combination of these diacritical marks with the Greek Small Letter Eta adds a layer of complexity and richness to the character, reflecting various historical and linguistic aspects of the Greek language.
