Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ὦ has the Unicode code point U+1F6E. 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+1F6E to binary:
00011111 01101110. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+1F6E represents the Greek capital letter "Omega with Psiili and Perisponmeni." This unique typographical symbol is used in digital text to display a specific variant of the Greek letter Omega, which is a fundamental element in mathematics and various branches of science. Its use is often associated with fields such as physics, where it is commonly employed to signify an open-ended integral or a sum from minus infinity to infinity. The combination of Psiili and Perisponmeni adds a distinctive visual aspect to the letter, emphasizing its role as a symbol rather than just a letter. The character's use is generally limited to contexts where this particular representation of Omega is required for clarity or specificity in mathematical expressions or cultural references. Despite its rarity in everyday digital text, it remains an important tool for those working within specialized fields and disciplines that rely on precise symbolic notation.
