<p>I know how to use Console in Bitcoin Core but not that expert. I would like to ask is there possible for me to generate or create a new UTXO in Bitcoin Core?</p>
<p>All I have with me are the list of TxID which I have yet to use it. I don't know much about the right code for this.</p>
<p>Anyone can advise?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

Are you talking about creating UTXOs for testing purposes or how new UTXOs come into existence generally?

"Creating a UTXO" is the side effect of transacting. It's an abbreviation of "unspent transaction output"

A transaction in Bitcoin consumes a number of UTXOs, and creates a number of new ones, possibly assigned to new owners.

So the answer is: send BTC somewhere (possibly to yourself).
