Handling Unfamiliar Words in LLM Inputs

A large language model is given the input sentence: 'The scientist discovered a new subatomic particle, the 'quarkino'.' The word 'quarkino' is a neologism and does not exist in the model's original training vocabulary. Based on your understanding of how text is prepared for processing, explain the most likely method the system uses to create a numerical representation for the unfamiliar word 'quarkino' and contrast this with how it would represent a common word like 'scientist'.
