Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ␊ has the Unicode code point U+240A. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
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+240A to binary:
00100100 00001010. 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:
11100010 10010000 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+240A is a specialized symbol known as the Line Feed (LF) character. It serves a critical role in digital text, acting as a control character responsible for advancing the cursor to the beginning of the next line. This symbol is essential in creating formatted text documents, ensuring that lines of text are displayed correctly on screen or printouts. Its usage is primarily found in programming languages and markup languages like HTML, where it is used alongside the Carriage Return (CR) character to define the newline sequence in text files. U+240A's importance lies in its ability to facilitate readability and organization in digital text.
