Description

The Unicode character U+1FD0 represents the Greek letter Iota with Vrachy (ΓΙΟΥϑ), a variant of the Greek lowercase letter "iota" (ι). It is used primarily in digital text to accurately transcribe and display ancient or historical Greek texts. In the Greek alphabet, iota represents a sound that is distinct from the standard Latin 'i' and plays a crucial role in preserving the linguistic accuracy of translations and transcriptions from classical works. This character is essential for scholars, researchers, and linguists who work with ancient Greek literature, inscriptions, or manuscripts to ensure proper interpretation and analysis.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 8144 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+1FD0. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+1FD0 to binary: 00011111 11010000. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10010000
