Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+001F. 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+001F to binary:
00011111. 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:
00011111

Description
The Unicode character U+001F (Character 001F), also known as the "No-Break Space," is an essential element of digital text formatting, primarily utilized to separate words or phrases without allowing line breaks to occur between them. This ensures that multi-language documents and technical texts remain coherent and connected across different platforms, languages, and devices. Despite not having a direct cultural or linguistic significance, the No-Break Space plays a crucial role in preserving the accuracy and clarity of digital text, particularly in contexts where precise word separation is vital. Its inclusion in Unicode underscores its importance to developers, designers, and users who aim to maintain control over their text's appearance across various platforms and devices, fostering a consistent and precise user experience. Belonging to the Basic Latin Unicode block, this character is part of the foundation upon which other Unicode blocks are built. Its historical roots can be traced back to the ASCII character set, yet it continues to evolve in response to modern needs, remaining an integral part of digital communication today.
