Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ῗ has the Unicode code point U+1FD7. 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+1FD7 to binary:
00011111 11010111
. 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 10010111

Description
U+1FD7, the Greek Small Letter Iota with Dialytika and Perispomeni, is a specialized typographic character within the Unicode standard. This character plays a significant role in digital text, particularly in the context of the Greek language. It represents a modified form of the letter 'ι' (Iota), which includes two diacritical marks: the Dialytika and the Perispomeni. The Dialytika signifies that the following vowel is to be pronounced as a diphthong, while the Perispomeni indicates that the following syllable should be shortened. This character is vital for accurately transcribing and preserving the phonetic and morphological nuances of Greek words in digital texts. By employing U+1FD7, linguists, researchers, and authors can ensure the fidelity of their work when studying or writing in Greek, thus contributing to the accurate representation and preservation of this ancient language's rich history and cultural significance.
