Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ם has the Unicode code point U+05DD. 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+05DD to binary:
00000101 11011101. 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 10011101

Description
U+05DD is a character from the Hebrew script used to represent the letter "מ" (Mem), which is one of the 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet. This specific character, known as HEBREW LETTER FINAL MEM, is a final form of the letter Mem and is utilized at the end of words that do not require a DOTTED or OPEN form of the letter. In digital text, it helps maintain proper spacing and typographical rules when used in conjunction with other Hebrew characters. This character is essential for preserving the integrity of Hebrew language texts, as it assists in distinguishing between different forms of the same letter, which may have distinct meanings or pronunciations. The Hebrew alphabet, including the HEBREW LETTER FINAL MEM, has been used for over 3,000 years and is an important aspect of Jewish culture and religious texts such as the Torah and Talmud.
