Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ב has the Unicode code point U+05D1. 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+05D1 to binary:
00000101 11010001. 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:
11010111 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+05D1 is the Hebrew letter "בֵּית" (Bet), commonly used in various digital texts, particularly those written in the Hebrew language. This letter holds great importance in Jewish religious texts like the Tanakh and Talmud, where it often appears as part of words referring to God or sacred names. In its basic form, U+05D1 presents itself as a simple, unadorned letter without any inherent symbolic meaning. However, when written within a specific context, this character can also represent a variety of sounds in the Hebrew language. As with all Hebrew letters, Bet is written from right to left and is included in several Hebrew font sets designed for different digital platforms. Its precise positioning and style may vary depending on the font type used, such as block or cursive scripts, ensuring that U+05D1 remains versatile in its appearance while maintaining its core function within the Hebrew language.
