Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᾬ has the Unicode code point U+1FAC. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1FAC to binary:
00011111 10101100
. 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 10101100

Description
U+1FAC is a specialized Unicode character representing the Greek Capital Letter Omega with Psi (Ψ), Iota Subscript (ι), Omicron Subscript (ο), and Prosgegrammeni. In digital text, this character serves an important role in typography, particularly in fields such as linguistics, mathematics, and computer science where Unicode provides a standardized way of encoding characters from various scripts. The inclusion of Psi, Iota, Omicron subscripts, and Prosgegrammeni adds complexity to the representation of the Greek letter Omega, reflecting the diversity of linguistic and cultural contexts in which it may be used. As an expert Unicode character, U+1FAC enables more precise and accurate communication, avoiding misinterpretation or confusion that can arise from using standard characters or character combinations.
