Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ἤ has the Unicode code point U+1F24. 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+1F24 to binary:
00011111 00100100. 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 10111100 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+1F24, known as the Greek Small Letter Eta with PsilI and Oxia, is a specialized symbol in digital text, primarily used to represent specific phonetic features within the Greek language. In linguistic terms, it denotes both an aspirated and long 'e' sound, which distinguishes this character from the standard Greek small letter eta (U+03B7). As a result, it plays a crucial role in accurately transcribing certain dialects of Greek or specific phonetic transcriptions within academic texts. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that digital content creators and scholars can consistently use this symbol across various platforms and applications. By understanding its distinct function, users can maintain linguistic accuracy and cultural sensitivity when employing U+1F24 in their work.
