Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ₃ has the Unicode code point U+2083. 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+2083 to binary:
00100000 10000011. 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 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+2083 is known as SUBSCRIPT THREE. In the realm of digital typography, it plays a significant role in representing a subscript number three. Its primary usage lies in depicting an element that appears slightly below the baseline of the text. This feature proves highly beneficial when expressing scientific notations and mathematical expressions, especially those involving exponential or subscript forms. U+2083 is widely utilized in various technical fields such as chemistry, physics, and computer programming where a subtle, lower-level element is needed to be distinguished from its superscript counterparts. Despite being less common than the overtly visible superscripts or subscripts, SUBSCRIPT THREE has found an indispensable place in digital text due to its precise representation of lower level elements and adherence to typographical norms. Its inclusion in Unicode reflects a comprehensive understanding of diverse cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts that require such distinct textual representations.
