Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ₕ has the Unicode code point U+2095. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+2095 to binary:
00100000 10010101
. 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 10010101

Description
U+2095, the Latin Subscript Small Letter H character, is a typographical symbol utilized primarily within mathematical and scientific expressions in digital text. Its typical role involves representing the lowercase version of the letter 'H' in a subscript form. This allows for clearer expression of chemical elements, molecular compounds, or other mathematical notations where the position of the element or variable is essential to understanding the context. In the realm of chemistry, it can be employed to denote hydrogen atoms within molecules, and in mathematics, it may represent a subscript index or power within an equation. The Latin Subscript Small Letter H serves as an indispensable tool for accuracy and clarity in various disciplines that rely on specific notation standards, such as chemistry, biology, and physics.
