Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ֬ has the Unicode code point U+05AC. 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+05AC to binary:
00000101 10101100. 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:
11010110 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+05AC represents the HEBREW ACCENT ILUY in digital text. This specific accent is a part of the Hebrew language's rich typography system, which includes several accents used to modify vowel sounds and word inflections. Typically employed in Modern Hebrew, it plays a crucial role in accurately conveying the pronunciation and meaning of words in written form. Although not as widely used as some other Hebrew accents, such as the HEBREW ACCENT BARREKET (U+0591) or the HEBREW ACCENT PATACH (U+058E), the HEBREW ACCENT ILUY remains an essential element of the Hebrew language's orthography. It is used to denote the short "i" sound, which distinguishes words with similar roots but different meanings or functions. The accurate usage of this accent contributes significantly to the fluency and comprehensibility of written Hebrew text, emphasizing its cultural and linguistic importance in both traditional and modern contexts.
