Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+05EB. 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+05EB to binary:
00000101 11101011. 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:
11010111 10101011

Description
The Unicode character U+05EB, or CHARACTER 05EB, is an integral part of the Armenian script. It represents a unique grapheme that plays a vital role in the written representation of the Armenian language. This specific character is known as "Ք" (Armenian letter K) and is commonly used in digital text to express the phoneme /k/, which is a voiceless velar plosive in the phonetic alphabet. The Armenian script, like other abugidas, is characterized by its unique set of symbols that correspond to syllables or combinations of consonants and vowels, making it distinct from other scripts such as Latin and Cyrillic. As an essential element of the Armenian language, CHARACTER 05EB contributes to the rich cultural heritage and literature of the Armenian people.
