Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ף has the Unicode code point U+05E3. 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+05E3 to binary:
00000101 11100011. 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 10100011

Description
U+05E3, also known as HEBREW LETTER FINAL PE, is a typographical character used primarily within the Hebrew alphabet. In digital text, this character serves to indicate a specific grammatical structure in the Hebrew language, functioning as a final form of the letter "PE". The letter "Pe" itself stands for the consonantal sound "p" or "f", but when in its final form (U+05E3), it signifies that the preceding word ends in this sound. This is crucial for accurate language processing and translation purposes, as well as aiding readers in understanding the nuances of Hebrew grammar. Given the significance of the Hebrew language to Jewish culture and religious texts, U+05E3 plays an essential role in preserving and conveying these cultural and linguistic elements in digital environments.
