Description

The Unicode character U+1F67, also known as GREEK SMALL LETTER OMEGA WITH DASIA AND PERISPOMENI, plays a significant role in digital text, specifically within the context of the Greek language. As an individual glyph, it represents the lowercase letter 'omega' with unique diacritical marks - daseia and perispo meni. The daseia is a small horizontal line below the letter and the perispo meni consists of two small arched strokes in the ascender region of the letter. These diacritics are typically used to denote a long 'o' sound in some dialects of the Greek language, marking it distinctly from other short-vowel sounds. In digital text, this character is often utilized for transcribing ancient or archaic Greek texts, in linguistic research, and in typography for visual interest or historical accuracy. While its usage may not be as prevalent as other Greek letters, it remains an essential component of the Unicode standard for comprehensive language representation.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 8039 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+1F67. 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+1F67 to binary: 00011111 01100111. 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 10111101 10100111
