Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ₎ has the Unicode code point U+208E. 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+208E to binary:
00100000 10001110. 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:
11100010 10000010 10001110

Description
U+208E SUBSCRIPT RIGHT PARENTHESIS is a specialized Unicode character often employed in mathematical and scientific notation to represent the right parenthesis for subscript elements. Its primary role lies in digital text, where it helps denote lower-level components of complex equations or formulae within various disciplines, such as chemistry, physics, and engineering. The character's typographical appearance is that of a standard parenthesis ('), but positioned slightly below the baseline to distinguish it from its superscript counterpart. Although its usage may seem niche, it plays an essential role in maintaining clarity and accuracy in these technical fields by ensuring proper syntactical representation of subscripted elements within textual content.
