Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᾭ has the Unicode code point U+1FAD. 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+1FAD to binary:
00011111 10101101. 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 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+1FAD is a specialized Greek letter called "Greek Capital Letter Omega with Dasia and Oxia and Prosgegrammeni". It is used primarily in digital text to represent this specific form of the capital Greek letter 'Ω'. This particular letter variant is characterized by its unique combination of diacritical marks: the Dasia, Oxia, and Prosgegrammeni. The Dasia mark represents a rough breathing, while the Oxia mark indicates a smooth breathing. The Prosgegrammeni is a historical mark that denoted an initialism in Ancient Greek manuscripts. In digital texts, it serves as a symbol of historical linguistic studies or as an indicator of specific pronunciation rules within ancient Greek texts. As an expert Unicode and typography character, U+1FAD plays a vital role in accurate representation and understanding of textual materials from the classical Greek language and its evolution over time.
