Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ῒ has the Unicode code point U+1FD2. 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+1FD2 to binary:
00011111 11010010. 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 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+1FD2, or GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH DIALYTIKA AND VARIA, is a specialized typographical symbol used in the Greek language. It represents a modified form of the lowercase letter "iota" (ι), specifically incorporating both dialytika and varia diacritics. The dialytika mark (δ) denotes a long vowel sound, while the varia mark (ϊ) indicates a specific pronunciation of the vowel in particular linguistic or regional contexts. This character is vital for accurate representation and interpretation of certain Greek words and phrases within digital text, preserving their intended meaning and phonetic quality across various platforms and applications. Its use is primarily limited to Greek language texts and resources, where it plays a significant role in maintaining the rich cultural and linguistic heritage of the Greek language.
