Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ῼ has the Unicode code point U+1FFC. 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+1FFC to binary:
00011111 11111100. 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 10111100

Description
U+1FFC (Greek Capital Letter Omega with Prosgegrammeni) is a specialized Unicode character that holds significant importance in the field of digital text and typography. This specific letter, derived from the Greek alphabet, is an uppercase version of the ω (omega) symbol and is used to represent the last letter of the Greek alphabet. In its unique form, it features a vertical stroke or "prosgegrammeni" that extends downwards from the lower right side of the character. The usage of U+1FFC is primarily found in digital text where it serves as an essential component for typographic and linguistic purposes, such as in academic documents, historical texts, or when translating classical literature. Its presence often denotes a level of formality and accuracy in representing the original language's nuances. In certain contexts, this character may also be utilized for its aesthetic appeal or to convey a specific meaning within digital art, design, or coding. Despite its rarity in everyday usage, U+1FFC plays a crucial role in maintaining linguistic integrity and cultural preservation across various fields of study and communication. By understanding and employing this unique character, digital text creators can ensure the accurate representation of language, historical context, and typographic design principles.
