Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ἳ has the Unicode code point U+1F33. 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+1F33 to binary:
00011111 00110011. 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 10110011

Description
The Unicode character U+1F33, "GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH DASIA AND VARIA", is a specialized typographical representation used primarily in digital text to display the ancient Greek letter Iota with both its daseia and varia diacritics. In classical Greek scripts, daseia (a horizontal line beneath the letter) and varia (vertical strokes on either side of the letter) were used to indicate a long vowel sound in particular syllables. This character is primarily utilized by linguists, typographers, and scholars studying ancient Greek texts or involved in digital humanities. Its usage helps maintain the accuracy and integrity of historical documents and transcriptions, contributing to our understanding of the evolution of language and script over time. By employing U+1F33, users can ensure fidelity to the original text while also enhancing readability for modern audiences.
