Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᾣ has the Unicode code point U+1FA3. 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+1FA3 to binary:
00011111 10100011. 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 10100011

Description
U+1FA3, or GREEK SMALL LETTER OMEGA WITH DASIA AND VARIA AND YPOGEGRAMMENI, is a specialized Unicode character used primarily in digital text applications related to Greek typography and linguistics. This character combines the standard Greek small letter omega (U+03C9) with diacritical marks such as daseia (a horizontal line), varia (a vertical line extending above the letter), and ypogegrammeni (a superscripted form of a Greek letter). While it may not be widely used in everyday digital text, this character is crucial for accurate representation of specific linguistic constructs, particularly within historical or classical texts. Its precise use can vary depending on the language's orthographic conventions and the typographer's intent to convey a particular nuance or stylistic choice.
