What is the meaning of the string, \X2\****\X0\, in IFC export file?

[hohiunam]

Can anyone here help me to figure out what the string, \X2\****\X0\ means? It appears frequently in the IFC file exported from Revit. Such kind of "Machine Code" is unlikely to be understood.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Every 4 characters between \X2\ and \X0\ represent a unicode codepoint.

...definitely maybe.
