Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ὐ has the Unicode code point U+1F50. 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+1F50 to binary:
00011111 01010000. 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 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+1F50 is designated as the "GREEK SMALL LETTER UPSILON WITH PSILI" (𝛠). In digital text, it holds a significant role in representing a specific letter within the Greek alphabet. Typically used in linguistic and cultural contexts where Greek language is prevalent, this character's primary function is to serve as the lowercase form of the Greek letter Upsilon, while bearing the added diacritical mark known as PSILI (ˢ). The PSILI diacritic denotes a specific pronunciation or accentuation in Greek when using this letter. This character, along with its uppercase counterpart (𝛡), is pivotal for accurate representation of Greek words and phrases in digital communication and text processing systems. As a key element within the Unicode Standard, U+1F50 ensures the preservation of linguistic and cultural nuances when translating or displaying texts in Greek across various platforms and devices.
