Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0378. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 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+0378 to binary:
00000011 01111000. 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:
11001101 10111000

Description
The Unicode character U+0378 is a unique symbol in the realm of digital text. Specifically known as "Greek capital letter Omega", it plays a significant role in representing the Greek alphabet, particularly the uppercase form of the 24th letter, Omega (Ω). U+0378 is predominantly utilized within the contexts of linguistics and historical texts, such as translations of classical literature or ancient manuscripts. It also has applications in various modern fields, including mathematics, where it symbolizes the mathematical concept of 'omega' denoting the last letter in the Greek alphabet. While U+0378 is primarily associated with Greek culture, its usage extends to other linguistic and technical domains due to Unicode's universal nature, promoting cross-language compatibility and communication.
