Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ἆ has the Unicode code point U+1F0E. 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+1F0E to binary:
00011111 00001110. 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 10001110

Description
The character U+1F0E, known as GREEK CAPITAL LETTER ALPHA WITH PSILI AND PERISPOMENI, is a unique typographic symbol in the Unicode Standard. It plays a significant role in digital text by enabling accurate representation of certain Greek characters with distinct diacritical marks. This specific character combines the GREEK CAPITAL LETTER ALPHA (U+0391) and PSILI (U+0356), as well as the PERISPOMENI (U+0342). Its typical usage is predominantly in linguistic, cultural, or technical contexts that require special diacritical marks in Greek text. The character is not commonly used in everyday digital communication but holds importance in specific applications such as ancient manuscript transcription, scholarly research, and specialized academic disciplines like classical studies.
