Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ₌ has the Unicode code point U+208C. 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+208C to binary:
00100000 10001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+208C, known as the Subscript Equals Sign, plays a crucial role in mathematical and scientific notation in digital text. This symbol is used to denote equality between two mathematical expressions or terms when one of them has a subscript index. It can be found in various fields such as mathematics, chemistry, and physics where subscripts are commonly used. The Subscript Equals Sign is particularly valuable for its ability to clearly indicate that the relationship between two variables remains true regardless of the value of their respective subscripted elements. Its usage not only ensures accuracy but also fosters clarity in complex equations and formulas across various disciplines, making it an indispensable tool for professionals and students alike.
