Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+058C. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+058C to binary:
00000101 10001100
. 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:

Description
U+058C is a character from the Hebrew script, specifically representing the letter "ק" (Kaf). In the context of digital text, this character plays a crucial role in maintaining the linguistic integrity and cultural significance of Hebrew language content. The Hebrew script is unique in that it is written from right to left, which makes U+058C an essential component for accurate representation of words and sentences when encoding Hebrew text. Kaf, or ק, is used to represent various sounds in the Hebrew language, including the voiced velar plosive /ɡ/. This character and others in the Hebrew script are vital for the transmission and preservation of cultural heritage and communication among speakers of the language, particularly in digital contexts such as websites, documents, and software applications.
