Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ῁ has the Unicode code point U+1FC1. 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+1FC1 to binary:
00011111 11000001. 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 10111111 10000001

Description
U+1FC1, or Greek Dialytika And Perisponeni, is a unique character in the Unicode system that plays a significant role in digital text processing, particularly within the realm of the Greek language. This typographic character holds immense importance in linguistic and cultural contexts, as it represents the combination of two distinct diacritical marks: Dialytika and Perisponeni. Dialytika (U+1FC2) is a letter variant that denotes a long vowel sound in Ancient Greek texts, specifically the letters Iota and Upsoin. It is used to differentiate between long and short vowels, which are crucial for understanding meaning and pronunciation in ancient linguistic works. On the other hand, Perisponeni (U+1FC0) serves as a distinguishing diacritical mark for the letter Pi, differentiating between a soft 'p' sound and a hard 'p' sound in ancient Greek scripts. In terms of its technical context, U+1FC1 is crucial to the field of digital typography, particularly for accurate representation of historical texts and documents. It allows users and researchers to reproduce authentic versions of ancient Greek literature with precise vowel length and consonant sounds, aiding in the preservation and understanding of these classic works. As a result, U+1FC1 holds significant value in the digital world, serving as an essential tool for linguists, historians, and typography enthusiasts alike.
