Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ֝ has the Unicode code point U+059D. 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+059D to binary:
00000101 10011101. 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+059D, also known as HEBREW ACCENT GERESH MUQDAM, is a crucial character in the Unicode standard. Its primary function lies within digital text, where it serves to accentuate specific Hebrew words by providing an important phonetic or grammatical emphasis. The character plays a vital role in conveying correct pronunciation and meaning of words in the Hebrew language, which is primarily used in Israel, but also widely spoken in other countries with significant Jewish populations. Due to its accentual nature, U+059D can impact word stress and intonation, critical aspects of Hebrew's intonational system. This Unicode character demonstrates the complex interplay between cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts, highlighting how digital text can faithfully represent nuanced aspects of spoken languages for a more accurate and inclusive communication experience.
