Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ὗ has the Unicode code point U+1F5F. 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+1F5F to binary:
00011111 01011111. 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 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+1F5F represents the Greek capital letter Upsilon with Dasia and Perispoomeni (GREEK CAPITAL LETTER UPSILON WITH DASIA AND PERISPOMENI). This typographical symbol is part of the Greek alphabet, which has been used since antiquity for writing the Greek language. U+1F5F is primarily utilized in digital text, particularly within the fields of linguistics, computer programming, and Unicode encoding. The character is a combination of two distinct elements: the basic Upsilon (U+03C5) and the dieresis (U+0308), which are combined with Dasia (U+1F72) and Perispoomeni (U+1F71). The Dasia, a symbol resembling an oblique cross or a '+' sign (plus), is used to indicate the elision of a vowel sound in Ancient Greek poetry. Meanwhile, the Perispoomeni is similar to an inverted V shape and was utilized in ancient times for scribal notation to indicate a double consonant or to mark word stress in Greek text. In digital texts, U+1F5F serves as a way to encode and display these combined symbols accurately. This character is essential for those working with Unicode encoding and anyone requiring precise representation of Ancient Greek text in their digital documents.
