Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ἅ has the Unicode code point U+1F0D. 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+1F0D to binary:
00011111 00001101. 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 10111100 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+1F0D, Greek Capital Letter Alpha with Dasia and Oxia, is a specialized typographical symbol that holds historical and linguistic significance. Primarily used in digital text, it represents the beginning of the Greek alphabet, serving as an alpha character with added diacritical marks. The Diasia refers to the horizontal line below the letter, while the Oxia denotes the vertical line through the letter, both of which are characteristic features of ancient Greek manuscripts. These diacritical markings were employed to guide pronunciation and provide phonetic clarity in the original texts. In modern usage, this character is often found in academic contexts related to historical linguistics, ancient literature, or typography studies, allowing for accurate representation and understanding of ancient Greek inscriptions and manuscripts.
