Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ₓ has the Unicode code point U+2093. 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+2093 to binary:
00100000 10010011. 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 10010011

Description
U+2093, the Latin Subscript Small Letter X, is a specialized character in Unicode typography used predominantly for scientific and mathematical notation in digital text. Its primary function lies in representing a small lowercase 'x' positioned below the baseline of a text string. This allows for clearer and more precise expression of concepts requiring subscripts within equations or technical documents. While its usage may be less widespread compared to other Unicode characters, it holds significant value in specific fields such as chemistry, physics, and mathematics. The Latin Subscript Small Letter X contributes to the accuracy and clarity of information shared across various industries, ensuring efficient communication of complex ideas.
