Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ῡ has the Unicode code point U+1FE1. 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+1FE1 to binary:
00011111 11100001. 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 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+1FE1 represents the Greek letter "Upsilon" with a macron (GREEK SMALL LETTER UPSILON WITH MACRON). This symbol is utilized primarily in digital text for typographical and linguistic purposes. In linguistics, it serves to represent the sound /u/ or a long /ʊ/ vowel sound in certain dialects of Greek. The macron over the letter indicates a prolongation of the sound. It finds its cultural and technical context in fields such as digital humanities, historical linguistics, and computational typography, where it helps maintain the integrity of original texts, especially those written in ancient or archaic languages. It is also used in modern Greek for proper pronunciation and orthography. In the realm of digital text, the U+1FE1 character is crucial for preserving the accurate representation of the sound values within the Greek language and ensuring clear communication across various platforms and devices.
