Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ῑ has the Unicode code point U+1FD1. 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+1FD1 to binary:
00011111 11010001. 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 10010001

Description
U+1FD1, the Greek Small Letter Iota with Macron, is a unique typographical character in the Unicode standard used predominantly in digital text. Its primary role lies within the Greek alphabet, where it serves as an alternative form of the lowercase letter "i". The presence of a macron, or horizontal line, above the letter signifies a long vowel sound, differentiating it from the standard iota with no diacritical marks. This character plays a significant role in digital text, enabling accurate and clear communication across various platforms, especially in the fields of linguistics, humanities, and computer science. The Greek Small Letter Iota with Macron is essential for preserving the cultural and linguistic nuances of ancient texts and contemporary Greek language in digital form, showcasing the rich heritage and history of the Greek alphabet while facilitating its use in modern communication.
