Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ₚ has the Unicode code point U+209A. 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+209A to binary:
00100000 10011010. 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 10011010

Description
U+209A, the Latin Subscript Small Letter P, is a typographic character primarily used in mathematical and scientific notation in digital text. It serves as a representation of the lowercase letter 'p' written below the baseline of other characters or symbols. This character is particularly useful for writing subscripts, which are commonly found in various fields such as chemistry, physics, and mathematics to indicate powers or indices, isotopes, or specific elements in a compound. Its role in digital text is significant in maintaining consistency and clarity when expressing complex ideas or formulas that require the use of subscript notation. In linguistic contexts, it might be employed to denote certain phonetic features or morphological structures in specific languages. However, its application may vary depending on the software used or the particular requirements of the text being produced.
