Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ὤ has the Unicode code point U+1F6C. 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+1F6C to binary:
00011111 01101100. 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 10101100

Description
U+1F6C is the Unicode code point for "GREEK CAPITAL LETTER OMEGA WITH PSILI AND OXIA." This special character is used in digital text to represent a modified version of the Greek capital letter Omega (Ω). In its typical usage, it serves as a distinct symbol in typography and linguistic contexts. It incorporates two diacritical marks: the PSILI, which denotes a breathing sound, and the OXIA, which indicates a change in pronunciation. This character is often employed in the fields of mathematics, linguistics, and historical studies due to its significance in Greek culture and language. Its unique appearance and role contribute to its importance as an essential tool for accurate representation and understanding of Greek texts in digital formats.
