Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᾍ has the Unicode code point U+1F8D. 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+1F8D to binary:
00011111 10001101. 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 10111110 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+1F8D, GREEK CAPITAL LETTER ALPHA WITH DASIA AND OXIA AND PROSGEGRAMMENI, is a specialized Greek capital letter that has distinct features of diacritical marks. It is primarily utilized in digital texts for specific linguistic, cultural, and technical purposes. In the context of ancient Greek manuscripts, this character serves as a representation of the initial letter 'Α' (Alpha) with unique accentuations or breathing marks - DIAERESIS (DASIA), ACUTE ACCENT (OXIA), and PROSGEGRAMMENI. The latter is an archaic accent mark that denotes an unstressed syllable in Ancient Greek, which is now obsolete in Modern Greek. This character is particularly significant for scholars studying ancient Greek texts, as it provides valuable insights into the pronunciation, grammar, and phonological structures of historical Greek dialects. As such, U+1F8D plays a crucial role in preserving linguistic heritage and facilitating accurate scholarly research on Ancient Greek literature and inscriptions.
