Description

U+1FA0, the Greek Small Letter Omega with Psili and Ypogeogrammeni, is a specialized Unicode character that holds significance in digital text, particularly within typography and linguistic fields. It is used to represent the Greek letter "ω" with an added dot below (psili) and a vertical line through it (ypogegrammeni). This distinctive character is primarily employed in academic texts, specifically in linguistics, mathematics, and computer science, where it serves as a representation of specific phonemes or symbols. Its primary purpose is to provide an accurate and clear visual representation of the original Greek letter with additional elements that may hold specific meanings or functions. By incorporating U+1FA0 into digital texts, scholars and researchers can ensure precise communication of complex concepts and ideas in their respective fields.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 8096 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+1FA0. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+1FA0 to binary: 00011111 10100000. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10100000
