Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ₘ has the Unicode code point U+2098. 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+2098 to binary:
00100000 10011000. 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 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+2098, known as LATIN SUBSCRIPT SMALL LETTER M, plays a significant role in digital text by providing the capability to represent the lowercase letter 'm' in a subscripted form. This can be particularly useful for expressing mathematical and chemical notations that require the use of subscripts in their notation. For instance, in chemistry, it is often used to denote isotopes or elements with multiple subatomic particles such as neutrons or protons. In mathematics, the character may appear in algebraic expressions, especially when the base of a logarithm is 10 (as in base-10 logarithms). Despite being less commonly used than its counterpart, LATIN SUBSCRIPT CAPITAL LETTER M (U+2097), U+2098 serves an essential function in digital text for precise and accurate representation of specific notations in various fields.
