Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ὠ has the Unicode code point U+1F68. 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+1F68 to binary:
00011111 01101000. 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 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+1F68, also known as the "Greek Capital Letter Omega with PsilI", is a typographical symbol in digital text. It represents the uppercase version of the Greek letter 'ω' or Omega, which is the 24th and final letter of the Greek alphabet. In its base form without the PsilI (U+03C0), it is commonly used to denote the mathematical concept of "omega" in various equations and formulas. However, when accompanied by the PsilI (U+03D2), this character signifies a specific linguistic aspect in the Greek language. The PsilI is an accent mark that serves to modify the pronunciation or meaning of a Greek word. In the case of the 'Omega with PsilI', it indicates that the preceding vowel should be pronounced as 'o' instead of its usual 'ε' sound in Greek. This symbol is primarily used in typography, linguistics, and digital communication, where accurate representation of characters and accent marks is crucial for clarity and interpretation.
