Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ῌ has the Unicode code point U+1FCC. 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+1FCC to binary:
00011111 11001100. 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 10111111 10001100

Description
U+1FCC is the Unicode code point for "GREEK CAPITAL LETTER ETA WITH PROSGEGRAMMENI," a unique character in the Greek alphabet. In digital text, it is typically used to represent this specific letter, preserving the distinctiveness of ancient scripts and promoting cultural heritage through typography. As part of the Greek alphabet, U+1FCC has significant linguistic and historical importance, as it was used in ancient Greece for writing both their language and various other languages that used the Greek script, such as Latin, Old Church Slavic, and Old Norse. The character's name, "prosgegrammeni," refers to the diacritical mark placed above the eta (η) letter, which represents a long vowel sound in ancient Greek texts. While this character may not be commonly used in contemporary digital communication, it remains an essential tool for those studying or preserving classical languages and literature.
