Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ύ has the Unicode code point U+1F7B. 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+1F7B to binary:
00011111 01111011. 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 10111101 10111011

Description
The Unicode character U+1F7B, known as "GREEK SMALL LETTER UPSILON WITH OXIA", is an essential component in digital text communication, particularly within the realm of linguistics, cultural studies, and computer science. This symbol represents a variant of the Greek letter upsilon (U+03C5), which is the 21st letter of the Greek alphabet, and signifies a bilabial trill fricative sound in phonetics. The addition of the oxia diacritical mark to the upsilon character designates a long 'u' vowel sound, making it crucial for accurate pronunciation and understanding of ancient and modern Greek texts. Its role in digital text is vital, as it enables precise representation and communication of linguistic nuances across various platforms, applications, and programming languages, thus enriching the online world with diverse cultural perspectives and knowledge.
