Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ֘ has the Unicode code point U+0598. 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+0598 to binary:
00000101 10011000. 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+0598, known as the HEBREW ACCENT ZARQA, is a vital element in digital typography of the Hebrew language. This unique accent symbol plays an essential role in differentiating between various phonetic sounds and meanings within the Hebrew script. In digital text, it primarily serves to modify vowel sounds or shewit, providing crucial phonetic information and facilitating accurate pronunciation by readers or speech recognition software. The HEBREW ACCENT ZARQA, along with other Hebrew accent marks like U+0599 (HEBREW ACCENT SHVA) and U+05DA (HEBREW ACCENT PATACH), contributes to the richness and expressiveness of the Hebrew language, which is a Semitic language mainly spoken in Israel. The Zarqa accent's significance lies in its ability to subtly change the pronunciation and meaning of words in this ancient yet dynamic language.
