Every topological space, including one without the T0 space property, embeds into a power of this three-point space. For each open set U, use a coordinate equal to 2 on U and 0 elsewhere. Its inverse image of the only proper nonempty open set is U. For each point a, add a coordinate equal to 1 at a and 0 elsewhere. These coordinates are continuous because the subspace {0,1} has the indiscrete topology, and they separate all points. The combined diagonal map is injective and induces precisely the original topology, hence is a topological embedding.
