Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ֜ has the Unicode code point U+059C. 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+059C to binary:
00000101 10011100. 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
The Unicode character U+059C is known as the Hebrew Accent Geresh. In its typical usage within digital texts, it serves to modify the pronunciation of a preceding consonant in the Hebrew language. This accent mark is essential for proper pronunciation and understanding of text in Modern Hebrew, where it distinguishes between similar-sounding words or conveys different meanings. The Geresh appears within Hebrew typography as a small curved line above or below the preceding consonant, and its usage is specific to the Hebrew script due to the unique characteristics of the language's phonetics and morphology. As an integral part of the Hebrew writing system, the Hebrew Accent Geresh contributes to the richness and diversity of the language and plays a crucial role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity.
