Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ὁ has the Unicode code point U+1F41. 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+1F41 to binary:
00011111 01000001. 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 10111101 10000001

Description
U+1F41 (Greek Small Letter Omicron with Diasia) is a Unicode character primarily used in digital text for representing the Greek letter "omicron" with a diacritic mark called "dialytika." The omicron symbol (ὀ, ο, Ω) represents a vowel sound in Greek language and script. This specific character is utilized to denote the "omicron" followed by the diaeresis or acute accent. The diaeresis, also known as the diasia, serves to modify the pronunciation of the letter it accompanies. In linguistic contexts, this character is essential in correctly rendering the Greek alphabet and ensuring accurate transliteration for scholars, linguists, and those studying the Greek language. It is important to note that while U+1F41 may appear visually similar to other Unicode characters representing the Greek letter "omicron," it carries a distinct function due to the presence of the diasia. Overall, the character U+1F41 plays a critical role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural integrity within digital texts involving the Greek language.
