Description

U+1F07, or the "Greek Small Letter Alpha with Diasia and Perispo meni", is a unique Unicode character primarily used in digital text for typographic purposes. It combines the standard Greek letter Alpha (U+03B1) with two diacritical marks - Diasia (U+0384) and Perispomeni (U+037D). This combination is often utilized to denote a specific pronunciation or emphasis in Greek orthography. Despite its rarity, the U+1F07 character plays an essential role in preserving linguistic nuances in digital communication. While it may not be widely used in everyday text, its presence showcases the richness and diversity of the Greek language in digital formats.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7943 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+1F07. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+1F07 to binary: 00011111 00000111. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10111100 10000111
