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.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 8341 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character 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 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+2095 to binary: 00100000 10010101. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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:
