Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+001B. 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+001B to binary:
00011011. 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:
00011011

Description
The Unicode character U+001B (CHARACTER 001B), also known as the Linefeed or Newline character (code: 27, name: <control>), plays a significant role in digital text processing, particularly in text formatting. In systems such as command-lines, emails, and programming languages, it is utilized to move from one line to another, thereby creating new paragraphs or transitioning focus to different sections of the document. Although not visible in regular text editors, its presence can be observed when examining source code or raw data streams. It's essential to note that the usage of this character may differ across platforms. In UNIX and Linux systems, it serves as a Linefeed (LF), while on Windows systems, it functions as a Carriage Return and Linefeed combination. Despite its technical nature, CHARACTER 001B is indispensable in digital communication and text formatting, contributing to the readability and organization of written content across platforms. Being part of the Basic Latin Unicode block (range: U+0000 to U+007F), this character forms the foundation for many other Unicode blocks and includes a variety of essential characters used in programming languages, text documents, and applications. The Basic Latin Unicode block's historical roots can be traced back to the ASCII character set but have since evolved to accommodate modern needs and continue to be integral to digital communication.
