Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ῠ has the Unicode code point U+1FE0. 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+1FE0 to binary:
00011111 11100000. 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 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+1FE0 represents the "Greek Small Letter Upsilon with Vrachy." This unique symbol is used primarily in digital text to denote the Greek letter upsilon (ϒ), which is typically employed in various branches of mathematics, computer science, and linguistics. In its vrachy form, it features a distinct upward-pointing hook on the lower left side of the character, distinguishing it from the standard upsilon (υ). This specialized representation can be used to indicate specific phonetic or accentual characteristics in ancient Greek texts, highlighting the importance of proper diacritics for accurate interpretation. While not commonly used in everyday language, the Greek Small Letter Upsilon with Vrachy plays a crucial role in preserving and understanding historical and technical knowledge across various fields.
