As of Outline Client version 1.9.0, access keys support the “prefix” option. The “prefix” is a list of bytes used as the first bytes of the salt of a Shadowsocks TCP connection. This can make the connection look like a protocol that is allowed in the network, circumventing firewalls that reject protocols they don't recognize.

The “prefix” is a list of bytes

What is the meaning of list of bytes ?
Array of bytes ?

To use the prefix feature with Dynamic Access Keys (ssconf://), add a "prefix" key to the JSON object, with a JSON-encoded value representing the prefix you want_ (see examples in the table above)_. You can use escape codes (like \u00FF) to represent non-printable Unicode codepoints in the U+0 to U+FF range. For example:

{ "server": "example.com", "server_port": 8388, "password": "example", "method": "chacha20-ietf-poly1305", "prefix": "\u0005\u00DC\u005F\u00E0\u0001\u0020" }

What is "\u0005\u00DC\u005F\u00E0\u0001\u0020" ? How can I generate prefix like this ?
How would you write prefix generator function in Python?

@sobhan-m94
As outlined in the tutorial you provided (here). You can use the encodeURIComponent() function to generate a custom prefix
