Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ₆ has the Unicode code point U+2086. 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+2086 to binary:
00100000 10000110. 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 10000110

Description
U+2086 is the Unicode character code for "SUBSCRIPT SIX." This typographical symbol is used in digital text to represent a numeral six that is placed below the baseline, as seen in subscript notation. The primary usage of SUBSCRIPT SIX is within mathematical equations or scientific expressions where it denotes the sixth power of a variable or constant. It also appears in molecular formulas and chemical compounds, representing the atomic number of elements. U+2086 plays a crucial role in digital text by enabling precise representation of subscripted numbers, enhancing clarity and accuracy in various technical, scientific, and mathematical contexts.
