Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ד has the Unicode code point U+05D3. 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+05D3 to binary:
00000101 11010011. 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 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+05D3 represents the Hebrew letter Dalet (ד), a significant component of the rich Hebrew alphabet. In digital text, it is employed to encode and display this specific letter accurately across various platforms and devices. Historically, Dalet has held cultural importance in Judaism as the fourth letter of the Hebrew alphabet and holds symbolic significance, representing a "door" or "gate." This connection with doors is also seen in its visual form, as it appears like a bent line with a small, backward-pointing extension at the end. In linguistic contexts, Dalet primarily serves as a consonant that can be followed by vowels (vowel points) and other consonants to form words. Its technical representation in Unicode ensures the accurate rendering and processing of Hebrew text across different software and applications, thereby preserving the integrity of Hebrew language usage in the digital age.
