Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+058B. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+058B to binary:
00000101 10001011. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11010110 10001011

Description
U+058B is a character in the Unicode Standard, specifically belonging to the Hebrew block. In digital text, it typically represents the Hebrew letter "מ" (mem), which is one of the 22 letters in the modern Hebrew alphabet. This letter is used in both print and online texts for reading, writing, and communication purposes in Hebrew-speaking regions such as Israel, parts of Palestine, and among Jewish communities worldwide. Mem is a consonant that represents the voiced bilabial fricative sound (/m/) in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). It can also serve as a prefix for some words, adding an additional layer of meaning or indication. The character U+058B holds significance in its cultural and linguistic context, as Hebrew is a Semitic language with a rich history dating back over 3,000 years, and the Unicode Standard plays a crucial role in ensuring that digital texts are accurately represented and preserved across various platforms and devices.
