Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0CF9. 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+0CF9 to binary:
00001100 11111001. 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:
11100000 10110011 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+0CF9 is the Greek letter "ϑ". This specific character is a part of the Extended Greek alphabet, which includes letters that were used in ancient texts for various dialects and languages but are not currently in use for any living language. It has been used historically to represent different sounds in different contexts. In digital text, U+0CF9 can be utilized in linguistic research or historical documents for accurate representation of these ancient Greek characters. Its usage is primarily in typography, particularly when dealing with classical texts or historical manuscripts that employ the Extended Greek alphabet.
