Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ὦ has the Unicode code point U+1F66. 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+1F66 to binary:
00011111 01100110. 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
The character U+1F66, also known as the "Greek Small Letter Omega with Psiili and Perisponeni," is a unique symbol in Unicode, which plays an essential role in digital text by representing specific linguistic or cultural concepts. Specifically, this character is used to represent the Greek letter omega (Ω) with two additional diacritical marks - psiili (ψι) and perispomeni (περισπόμενη). Psiili is a shortened form of the word "psi" from the Greek language, while perispomeni is a compound term derived from "peri" (around) and "spomena" (suggestion or indication). In digital texts, U+1F66 is primarily used in linguistic, historical, or cultural contexts where these specific diacritical marks are required. For instance, it may appear in documents discussing the Greek language or its script, particularly when illustrating variations of the omega symbol. While this character is relatively uncommon compared to other Greek letters, it serves a vital function for users who need to convey these nuanced linguistic distinctions accurately and effectively.
