Description

U+2089 is the Unicode for SUBSCRIPT NINE, a typographic character primarily used in digital text for representing the numeral '9' as a subscript. In this context, a subscript is a number or symbol placed below the baseline of the text, often utilized in mathematical expressions to denote exponents or indices. The character is particularly relevant in the fields of science, technology, and mathematics, where it assists readers in understanding complex equations and notations. There are no known cultural, linguistic, or technical contexts that specifically revolve around U+2089, as its purpose is purely functional within these subjects. The accurate use of subscript characters like U+2089 contributes to the clarity and precision of communication in the aforementioned disciplines, ensuring that professionals and students alike can accurately convey their ideas and concepts.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 8329 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+2089. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+2089 to binary: 00100000 10001001. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10001001
