Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0B4A. 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+0B4A to binary:
00001011 01001010. 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 10101101 10001010

Description
U+0B4A is a typographical character in the Unicode Standard that represents the letter "ᾮ" (Upsilon with tonos). This letter is primarily used in Ancient Greek and other related languages for transcription purposes or in specialized fields such as linguistics, history, and archeology. The Upsilon with tonos is a specific variant of the basic Greek letter Upsilon (U+03B1) and features an acute accent mark (U+0301), which indicates a high tone in these languages. In digital text, this character can be utilized to accurately represent and differentiate words or phrases that contain tonal variations. The usage of U+0B4A ensures the precise representation of Ancient Greek texts and maintains the integrity of linguistic research and historical documentation.
