Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᾡ has the Unicode code point U+1FA1. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1FA1 to binary:
00011111 10100001
. 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 10100001

Description
The character U+1FA1 is a Greek letter called "Greek Small Letter Omega with Dasia and Ypogeogrammeni." It is primarily used in digital text for typographical purposes, particularly in the context of the Greek language. In ancient Greek manuscripts, the dasia was a small horizontal line used to separate different sections or ideas within the text, while the ypogeogrammeni indicated a change in voice or tone. Today, the character is mainly utilized for its historical and typographic significance in various digital mediums that require accurate representation of ancient Greek texts, such as academic research, historical documents, and educational materials. By employing this character, users can maintain fidelity to the original manuscript while ensuring readability and accessibility on modern digital platforms.
