Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0010. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 1 byte because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0000to0x007f.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 7 bits within the final 8 bits and that it will have the format:0xxxxxxx
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+0010 to binary:
00010000. 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:
00010000

Description
The character U+0010, also known as the less control greater (<control>), is a rarely used Unicode character primarily serving as a control code for digital text processing systems. Its typical usage involves representing a "Device Control Sequence" or "Line Feed (LF)" in text documents and programming languages. Despite its obscurity in modern digital text processing, it falls under the category of Control Pictures (General Category: Cc) and has a BN bidiClass. The character U+0010 does not carry any significant cultural, linguistic, or technical context beyond its role as a control code. However, in certain programming languages or environments that still rely on older control sequences, it may find occasional use. It can be found within the Basic Latin Unicode block (Plane 0), which forms the foundation of the Unicode system and encompasses essential characters for various applications and platforms. For more information on this character and its role in digital communication, refer to the Data Link Escape (Unicode 10 Name) or consult the ISO/IEC 10646 commentary (null for U+0010).
