Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ὧ has the Unicode code point U+1F6F. 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+1F6F to binary:
00011111 01101111. 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:

Description
The Unicode character U+1F6F, known as "GREEK CAPITAL LETTER OMEGA WITH DASIA AND PERISPOMENI," holds a unique role in digital text, specifically within the realm of typography and linguistics. It is used to represent the Greek letter omega with additional diacritics that provide specific emphasis or context. The daseia and perispo meni are accent marks added to the base letter, serving as an indication of intonation, stress, or other nuanced phonetic characteristics in spoken Greek language. This character is particularly useful for scholars, linguists, and researchers studying Ancient Greek or the history of the Greek language. Additionally, it can be employed by those interested in typography to explore or exhibit the rich variety of Greek letterforms and their diacritical marks. By using U+1F6F, one can accurately represent these nuances within digital text, contributing to a more comprehensive and authentic depiction of the Greek language.
