Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ὀ has the Unicode code point U+1F48. 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+1F48 to binary:
00011111 01001000. 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 10001000

Description
U+1F48 is the Unicode character code for "GREEK CAPITAL LETTER OMICRON WITH PSILI". This special character is used in digital text, primarily within the Greek language. In terms of usage, it typically serves as a capital letter representing the phoneme /o/ or /ɔ/. Notably, its cultural and linguistic context lies in ancient Greek literature where it was extensively utilized. The presence of the PSILI modifier indicates that the character is followed by a diacritic mark, namely the PSILI (ψιλή) - the dot below the letter, signifying a plain or unaspirated sound. This character's accurate use in digital text enables more precise communication and preservation of cultural heritage, as well as aids in linguistic research and translation tasks.
