Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ך has the Unicode code point U+05DA. 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+05DA to binary:
00000101 11011010. 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
U+05DA, or HEBREW LETTER FINAL KAF, is a crucial character in the Hebrew alphabet, serving as the final form of the letter 'kaf' (ק). In digital text, it typically follows words that end with a kaf to indicate their final form. This character plays an essential role in the orthography of Modern Hebrew and the Hebrew Bible, where its usage can be traced back over 3,000 years. The HEBREW LETTER FINAL KAF contributes significantly to the accuracy and clarity of written texts by distinguishing between words that end with a kaf and those that do not. It is also widely used in Hebrew typography and layout design due to its unique visual characteristics and cultural significance.
