Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0EF0. 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+0EF0 to binary:
00001110 11110000. 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:
11100000 10111011 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+0EF0 (character 0xEF0) is a lesser-known symbol with specific roles and usage within the realm of digital text. As a code point in the Unicode Standard, it represents a non-printable control character used for various purposes in data communication and exchange. Primarily, this character is employed as a Group Separator, which is used to separate groups of characters in specific data formats. This grouping can be useful for organizing data fields or records during data processing tasks, such as those involving binary-coded decimal (BCD) or extended binary coded decimal (EBCDIC) encoding systems. In these systems, the Group Separator assists with segmenting and organizing data into meaningful chunks for efficient information management. While U+0EF0 may not be as widely recognized as other characters in the Unicode Standard, it plays a crucial role in specific data processing applications and communication protocols where precise organization and delimitation of character groups are essential.
