Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᾖ has the Unicode code point U+1F96. 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+1F96 to binary:
00011111 10010110. 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:

Description
The Unicode character U+1F96, known as "GREEK SMALL LETTER ETA WITH PSILI AND PERISPOMENI AND YPOGEGRAMMENI," is a specialized letter used in digital text for representing the Greek alphabet. This unique character combines three distinct diacritical marks: psili, perispooneri, and hypogeagrammeni. In traditional print, these markings would be applied to an uppercase Eta (U+0395) or an uppercase Epsilon (U+0394). This character is seldom used in everyday digital text, but it holds significant importance for linguists, typographers, and scholars of ancient Greek. Its role lies primarily in the accurate representation of antiquated forms of the Greek alphabet in digital mediums, enabling a more precise study and preservation of historical texts.
