Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ℎ has the Unicode code point U+210E. 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+210E to binary:
00100001 00001110. 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 10000100 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+210E, also known as the Planck Constant, holds a significant place in the realm of physics. Typically used in digital text, this symbol represents the fundamental constant of quantum mechanics, specifically the reduced Planck constant (h-bar). Named after Max Planck, a renowned physicist and key figure in the development of quantum theory, it is expressed as h-bar = h/(4π), where h denotes the Planck constant. The character U+210E serves as an essential tool for scientists and researchers to accurately represent values and calculations in their studies related to quantum mechanics, making it a crucial element within technical contexts.
