Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ὥ has the Unicode code point U+1F6D. 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+1F6D to binary:
00011111 01101101. 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 10111101 10101101

Description
U+1F6D, or Greek Capital Letter Omega with Dasia and Oxia, is a typographical character used primarily within digital text to represent the letter "Ω" in the Greek alphabet. In its role as an alphabetic symbol, it represents the 24th and final letter of the ancient Greek alphabet, and has cultural significance in both historical and linguistic contexts. The character is particularly useful for scholars, researchers, and digital typographers working with classical texts or Greek language translations. U+1F6D is also valuable for displaying accented characters, which can be important in the study of ancient Greek literature and linguistics. As a Unicode character, it ensures accurate representation and preservation of these nuanced distinctions in digital text, promoting greater accessibility and understanding of ancient Greek language and culture.
