Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ὤ has the Unicode code point U+1F64. 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+1F64 to binary:
00011111 01100100. 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 10111101 10100100

Description
The character U+1F64, Greek Small Letter Omega with Psili and Oxia (Ώ), is a crucial element in typography and digital text representation. In the Unicode Standard, it holds an essential place as part of the Greek alphabet, representing the letter "ω" or Omega, the 24th and final letter. U+1F64 combines two diacritical marks: Psili (ˌ) and Oxia (̅), which are used to modify the base character in various ways, such as signaling a long vowel sound or adding stress in certain words. This character is typically employed in digital texts, particularly when dealing with translations of ancient Greek literature, historical documents, or any other context where the nuanced usage of the Greek alphabet is necessary. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+1F64 contributes to the accurate representation and preservation of linguistic and cultural heritage, ensuring that digital texts maintain their intended meaning and context across different platforms and devices.
