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.

How to type the ֌ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1420 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. 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 to 0x07ff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+058C to binary: 00000101 10001100. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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:
