Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ֣ has the Unicode code point U+05A3. 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+05A3 to binary:
00000101 10100011. 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+05A3, known as HEBREW ACCENT MUNAH, plays a crucial role in digital text processing for the Hebrew language. It is used to indicate vowel sounds and serve as an accent mark that modifies the pronunciation of words in written Hebrew. This accent, along with other Hebrew accents like HEBREW ACCENT PATAH (U+05A1) and HEBREW ACCENT SHEVA MANCURIS (U+05A9), is indispensable for the accurate representation of written Hebrew as spoken by native speakers. Digital typography in Hebrew, especially for online content, heavily relies on Unicode characters such as U+05A3 to maintain linguistic accuracy and aid comprehension among readers. The use of these characters ensures that the written form of the language corresponds closely with its oral counterpart, facilitating effective communication across various platforms and devices. In a broader cultural context, accents like HEBREW ACCENT MUNAH are essential components of the rich and ancient Hebrew script. They have evolved over centuries to meet the linguistic needs of the language, which is predominantly used in Israel and other Jewish communities around the world. The continued development and refinement of Unicode characters, such as U+05A3, contribute significantly to the preservation and promotion of the Hebrew language in the digital age.
