Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ₜ has the Unicode code point U+209C. 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+209C to binary:
00100000 10011100. 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 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+209C (LATIN SUBSCRIPT SMALL LETTER T) is a specialized typographical symbol used primarily in digital text for scientific notation and mathematical expressions. Its role is to represent the lowercase letter "t" when it appears as a subscript, which is often employed to indicate the use of an element's trivial or true value. This character plays an important role in various fields, such as chemistry (to denote trivalent elements), physics, and engineering, where precise notation is essential for accurate communication among experts. While its usage may be relatively niche, the LATIN SUBSCRIPT SMALL LETTER T is a crucial tool in these specialized domains, ensuring clarity and consistency in scientific and technical discourse.
