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.

How to type the ֒ symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 1426 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. 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 to 0x07ff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+0592 to binary: 00000101 10010010. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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:
