Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ὣ has the Unicode code point U+1F6B. 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+1F6B to binary:
00011111 01101011. 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
U+1F6B is the Unicode code point for "GREEK CAPITAL LETTER OMEGA WITH DASIA AND VARIA" (ΓΩ), a Greek uppercase letter that combines three different elements: the base letter Omega (Ω), and two diacritics known as daseia (Δ) and varia (Β). In digital text, this character is commonly used to represent Greek words or phrases where the specific combination of these elements holds linguistic or cultural significance. It is primarily found in contexts involving ancient Greek literature, mathematical notation, and cryptography. Due to its historical importance as a symbol for zero or infinity in early Greek mathematics, U+1F6B can also appear in academic texts or visual arts related to the history of mathematics or science. Overall, U+1F6B is a specialized character used primarily by scholars and enthusiasts of ancient languages, mathematics, and cryptography for its unique role in representing specific linguistic and cultural contexts.
