Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ὢ has the Unicode code point U+1F62. 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+1F62 to binary:
00011111 01100010. 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+1F62 is a Greek character called "GREEK SMALL LETTER OMEGA WITH PSILI AND VARIA." It plays an essential role in digital text, particularly within the context of the Greek language. This character represents the lowercase form of the letter Omega (ω), which is used to denote both the last letter of the Greek alphabet and a common mathematical symbol for the upper bound in integral calculus. The addition of the PSILI (a diacritical mark) and VARIA (a modifier) in this character's Unicode representation allows for increased flexibility in typography, enabling it to be used in various contexts where standard lowercase Omega might not suffice. As a result, U+1F62 is valuable in digital text as it helps maintain the accuracy and nuance of Greek language usage and mathematical notation across different platforms and devices.
