Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᾦ has the Unicode code point U+1FA6. 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+1FA6 to binary:
00011111 10100110. 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 10100110

Description
The character U+1FA6, known as "GREEK SMALL LETTER OMEGA WITH PSILI AND PERISPOMENI AND YPOGEGRAMMENI," is a specialized letter in the Greek alphabet, used primarily for digital text. This unique symbol combines three distinct features: an omega with an additional accent called "psili" which shortens the sound of the letter; the perispo meni, an elongation mark that indicates the letter should be drawn out or prolonged; and the ypogegrammeni, a diacritical mark that suggests the letter should be written in lowercase. In digital text, this character is used to represent specific linguistic features in languages such as Ancient Greek or Modern Greek, where it can convey nuances of pronunciation, stress, or intonation. The U+1FA6 symbol holds a notable place within typography and linguistics for its ability to express complex phonetic characteristics and historical language features.
