Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ה has the Unicode code point U+05D4. 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+05D4 to binary:
00000101 11010100. 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 10010100

Description
The Unicode character U+05D4 represents the Hebrew letter "ה", known as HEBREW LETTER HE. In digital text, this character plays a crucial role in accurately representing Hebrew language, which is widely spoken by millions of people around the world, particularly in Israel and other Jewish communities. The letter ה (Hebrew for "he") is one of the 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet, which is an abjad script that uses consonantal letters to represent both syllables and ideas. In Hebrew, the letter ה represents several sounds: the voiceless glottal fricative /h/, the pharyngeal fricative /ħ/, or the aspirated pronunciation of the glottal stop /h’/. It is used in both ancient texts and modern literature, religious scriptures like the Hebrew Bible, as well as everyday written communication. The character U+05D4 also holds historical significance, as it has been part of various editions of the Unicode Standard since its first release in October 1991. This allows accurate representation and encoding of Hebrew text across different platforms and devices, thus enabling the preservation and promotion of this rich linguistic and cultural heritage.
