Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ῴ has the Unicode code point U+1FF4. 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+1FF4 to binary:
00011111 11110100. 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:

Description
U+1FF4 is a unique Unicode character, known as "Greek Small Letter Omega with Oxia and Ypogegrammeni". In digital text, this character holds significant value due to its role in representing the Greek alphabet. Specifically, it represents the omega letter with two diacritical marks: oxia (a horizontal bar over a letter) and ypogeogrammeni (a vertical stroke). These diacritics are often used for phonetic purposes, altering the pronunciation of the character they modify. In terms of cultural and linguistic context, the use of this Unicode character can be found in various historical texts and modern Greek literature. The combination of oxia and ypogeogrammeni is rare, making U+1FF4 a relatively uncommon sight even within the realm of Greek typography. However, its rarity does not diminish its importance, as it reflects the richness and diversity of the Greek language. In technical terms, the Unicode character U+1FF4 is encoded using hexadecimal code 1FF4, which allows for accurate representation and rendering across different digital platforms and software applications. This ensures that this specific character, along with other unique and specialized characters, can be consistently displayed and used in various digital contexts, maintaining its linguistic integrity and cultural significance.
