Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0013. 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+0013 to binary:
00010011. 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:

Description
The Unicode character U+0013 (Control-M) is a vital control character used primarily in digital text to signal the end of a line in text editing and programming contexts. It represents the Line Feed (LF), which is essential for maintaining proper formatting and readability of text across various platforms, including Windows, Unix, and MacOS. In raw text files, source code, or specific applications where line control is crucial, the presence of this character can be observed. In technical applications, such as software development, system administration, or data management, understanding the importance of the Control-M character for ensuring text integrity is essential. Its significance lies mainly within these contexts, although it plays a vital role in enabling seamless data exchange between systems that may utilize various line ending conventions. This control character belongs to the Basic Latin Unicode block, which encompasses 128 essential characters ranging from U+0000 to U+007F. This range includes control codes, special symbols, and other vital characters for programming languages, text documents, and multiple applications. The Basic Latin Unicode block serves as the foundation for many other Unicode blocks and remains an integral part of digital communication despite its historical roots in the ASCII character set.
