WKB representation of empty 3D Point is 2-dimensional
See original GitHub issueI am a bit lost in the previous discussions we had about this topic of WKB and empty points (and GEOS version dependencies … etc), but noticed the following difference between Shapely and PyGEOS while running the Shapely tests (in the shapely-2.0 branch) with the latest pygeos:
>>> pygeos.to_wkb(pygeos.from_wkt("POINT Z EMPTY"), hex=True)
'0101000000000000000000F87F000000000000F87F'
This in contrast to Shapely (using the same GEOS 3.9.1 version):
>>> from shapely import wkt
>>> wkt.loads("POINT Z EMPTY").wkb_hex
'0101000080000000000000F87F000000000000F87F000000000000F87F'

I created a ticket at GEOS: https://trac.osgeo.org/geos/ticket/1129
Yes, but at least that’s the same in Shapely, so that might also be a limitation/bug of GEOS:
