Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ֒ has the Unicode code point U+0592. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080
to0x07ff
.
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 thex
are 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+0592 to binary:
00000101 10010010
. 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 character U+0592, known as HEBREW ACCENT SEGOL, plays a significant role in the Hebrew language, which is primarily spoken in Israel and by Jewish communities worldwide. This specific Unicode character serves as an accent that modifies the pronunciation of certain Hebrew letters, like 'ayin' (ע), 'peh' (פ), or 'tsere' (צ). In digital text, it helps maintain linguistic accuracy and ensures proper phonetic interpretation for readers familiar with the Hebrew language. As part of the Universal Character Set, U+0592 contributes to the inclusivity and global understanding of diverse languages and scripts on digital platforms.
