Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᾥ has the Unicode code point U+1FA5. 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+1FA5 to binary:
00011111 10100101. 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 10111110 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+1FAB, or GREEK SMALL LETTER OMEGA WITH DASIA AND OXIA AND YPOGEGRAMMENI, is a specialized letter used in the Greek alphabet to represent the phoneme "ω" or /o/. This specific symbol carries both linguistic and cultural significance, as it is used in the study of ancient Greek language and literature. In digital text, this character can be utilized for typography purposes, where it serves to emphasize certain words or phrases due to its distinct appearance, which includes a vertical stroke (dasi) and two horizontal strokes (oxia), combined with an underline (ypogegrammeni). This character is part of the Unicode Extended-A block of characters, which encompasses various symbols and letters used in less common scripts and languages. The usage of U+1FAB contributes to the preservation and exploration of ancient Greek language, as well as fostering a deeper understanding of its history and cultural impact.
