Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ֖ has the Unicode code point U+0596. 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+0596 to binary:
00000101 10010110. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+0596, or HEBREW ACCENT TIPEHA, is an important component in the Hebrew typography system. It serves a specific role within digital text by acting as an accent to modify the pronunciation and meaning of certain Hebrew letters. The tipeha (ה) is used primarily in the construction of words with a "sheva na" (a long, open vowel sound), which is crucial for accurate pronunciation and comprehension in the Hebrew language. In a digital context, this character may be employed to accurately represent Hebrew text, allowing users to read and understand the content as intended by the author.
