Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ֥ has the Unicode code point U+05A5. 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+05A5 to binary:
00000101 10100101. 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 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+05A5 represents the HEBREW ACCENT MERKHA (ה) in digital text. This accent mark is commonly used to modify Hebrew characters, particularly in the modern Israeli Hebrew language, where it denotes a long "o" sound. In this context, the Merkha plays an important role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and clarity for Hebrew speakers. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+05A5 ensures consistent representation across different digital platforms, facilitating seamless communication among users who read and write in Hebrew. Despite its subtle appearance, the HEBREW ACCENT MERKHA significantly contributes to the proper functioning and understanding of the Hebrew language within the realm of digital text.
