Conversion from Hex to UTF-8

When converting from hexadecimal (hex) to UTF-8, it's important to understand that UTF-8 is a variable-length character encoding standard that can represent all possible Unicode characters. In UTF-8, each character can be represented by one to four bytes depending on the character code point.

For example, if we have a hex value of "48 65 6C 6C 6F" (which represents the ASCII characters "Hello"), the UTF-8 encoding for this hex sequence would be the same as the ASCII characters since they fall within the ASCII character set range. However, if we were to convert a Unicode character that falls outside the ASCII range, the UTF-8 encoding would use multiple bytes to represent it.

Common use cases for converting from hex to UTF-8 include working with Unicode characters, internationalization of software applications, encoding text for web pages, and data transmission where multibyte characters need to be represented efficiently. Understanding how to convert from hex to UTF-8 is essential for handling and processing text data in a wide range of applications and systems.
