Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ῃ has the Unicode code point U+1FC3. 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+1FC3 to binary:
00011111 11000011. 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 10000011

Description
U+1FC3 (Greek Small Letter Eta with Ypogegrammeni) is a specialized character in the Unicode standard used primarily in typography and digital text. It represents an eta letter with a ypogegrammeni, a diacritical mark that denotes the long vowel sound /ɛː/ or /eː/ in Ancient Greek. This specific symbol is less common than other versions of the Greek small letter eta, which include U+0397 (Greek Small Letter Eta) and U+1FC4 (Greek Small Letter Eta with Dialectal Ypogegrammeni). In linguistic and cultural contexts, this character holds significance as it helps preserve and differentiate the pronunciation of words in Ancient Greek texts. The use of U+1FC3 is typically found in academic, historical, and religious works where accurate representation of ancient texts is crucial for understanding the language and its nuances.
