Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+2028. 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+2028 to binary:
00100000 00101000. 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 10000000 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+2028, known as the Line Separator, primarily serves a functional purpose within digital text. It is used to delineate paragraphs and other sections of text in markup languages such as HTML and XML. While not visible under normal conditions, it aids in the organization and structure of content. The Line Separator facilitates readability by providing a clear demarcation between different blocks of text. Although its usage is less common than others like U+000A (Line Feed) or U+000D (Carriage Return), it plays an essential role in maintaining consistency and continuity in textual data processing systems. In certain cases, the Line Separator may also be encountered within programming code or technical documents to signify a specific division or boundary point.
