Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ἴ has the Unicode code point U+1F34. 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+1F34 to binary:
00011111 00110100. 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 10110100

Description
U+1F34, or GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH PSILI AND OXIA, is a specialized character in Unicode typography that holds significant cultural and linguistic value in digital text. It primarily serves as a representation of the Greek letter "iota" (ι), but with an additional two diacritical marks called psili and oxia. The psili mark indicates a long sound for the letter, while the oxia mark denotes aspiration. This character is predominantly used in the fields of linguistics, classical studies, and text encoding for archival purposes. In digital text, U+1F34 helps preserve the accuracy of historical or ancient Greek texts, ensuring that their original nuances and meanings are faithfully conveyed. Despite its specialized usage, U+1F34 is an essential tool for scholars and researchers who work with classical Greek language materials.
