Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ὁ has the Unicode code point U+1F49. 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+1F49 to binary:
00011111 01001001. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+1F49, also known as "GREEK CAPITAL LETTER OMICRON WITH DASIA," holds a unique position in digital typography. Primarily used within the context of ancient Greek texts, it is often employed to convey the pronunciation of words or syllables where standard orthography may fall short. The character combines the capital letter omicron (Ο) with a diacritic mark known as daseia (δασεία), which represents a glottal stop or a break in speech. This combination is particularly significant for scholars and linguists studying ancient Greek texts, as it provides crucial insights into pronunciation, intonation, and the phonetic characteristics of the language. In digital text, U+1F49 aids in preserving and conveying the original intent and nuances of these historical works more accurately than if only standard characters were used.
