Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ἰ has the Unicode code point U+1F30. 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+1F30 to binary:
00011111 00110000. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+1F30 represents the "Greek Small Letter Iota with Diaeresis" (ỵ). This specific glyph is utilized in digital text for representing the Greek letter Iota, which is an open-syllable vowel sound. It is a part of the Unicode character encoding standard, which has been widely adopted to enable accurate and consistent representation of text across different platforms, devices, and languages. The Iota with Diaeresis (ỵ) is particularly important in linguistic contexts where it signifies the pronunciation of the letter as a distinct sound that varies from the regular Iota (ι). It is not commonly used in digital texts, but it has significance in fields such as historical linguistics and Greek studies.
