Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ֡ has the Unicode code point U+05A1. 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+05A1 to binary:
00000101 10100001. 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 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+05A1 represents the HEBREW ACCENT PAZER, a diacritical mark used in modern Hebrew text. Its primary role is to indicate an emphasis or stress on specific syllables within a word, which can affect its pronunciation and meaning. The Pazer is not as widely used as other Hebrew accent marks, such as the Shva, Sheva Na, and Sheva Na'qeret. The HEBREW ACCENT PAZER derives from traditional scribal practices in Hebrew calligraphy, where it was used to signify an emphasis on certain syllables. In modern digital text, its usage is less common due to the simplicity of using other accent marks or phonetic spelling for the same purpose. However, it remains an important part of orthographic rules and can be found in various Hebrew-language materials, such as religious texts, literary works, and educational resources.
