Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᾠ 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
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1FA0 to binary:
00011111 10100000
. 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 10100000

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.
