Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+05F7. 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+05F7 to binary:
00000101 11110111
. 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 10110111

Description
U+05F7 is a Unicode character primarily utilized in the encoding of text in various digital applications. In its typographical representation, it does not correspond to any specific letter or symbol but may serve as an escape code or marker for formatting purposes within software programs. Due to its abstract nature, U+05F7 has no direct cultural, linguistic, or technical context when considered independently of a particular application or standard. However, in the broader scope of digital text encoding, it plays an essential role in facilitating the correct rendering and interpretation of text across diverse platforms, programming languages, and software systems. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+05F7 contributes to the seamless communication and exchange of information that transcends language barriers and enhances global connectivity.
