Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ȍ has the Unicode code point U+020D. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 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+020D to binary:
00000010 00001101. 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 Unicode character U+020D, known as the Latin Small Letter O with Double Grave (ὡ), is a typographical symbol that holds significant importance in digital text. This character is primarily used to represent the lowercase letter 'o' with two grave accents stacked on top of each other. Although it shares visual similarities with the regular lowercase 'o', its distinctive double grave accent distinguishes it from the standard version. In linguistic context, U+020D is predominantly used in ancient Greek transcription systems, specifically for transcribing Old Attic Greek and Mycenaean Greek scripts. In these languages, the character assists in differentiating between various phonetic sounds of the letter 'o'. The double grave accent serves as a phonetic marker, indicating a long vowel sound or an altered pronunciation. This symbol helps preserve the linguistic heritage and cultural nuances of ancient Greek scripts in modern digital communication. From a technical standpoint, U+020D plays a role in text encoding systems that support various languages and scripts. It allows for accurate representation of specific phonetic characteristics found in certain languages, ensuring proper transcription and readability. In summary, the Latin Small Letter O with Double Grave is a valuable character in digital typography, serving as a cultural bridge between ancient and modern Greek languages while ensuring precise text encoding.
