Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ח has the Unicode code point U+05D7. 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+05D7 to binary:
00000101 11010111. 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 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+05D7 represents the Hebrew letter Het (ה), which is an important glyph within the Hebrew alphabet. This character serves a crucial role in digital text, especially when transcribing and translating texts from Hebrew to other languages or for communication purposes among Hebrew speakers. The Hebrew language is primarily used by the Jewish people across the world, and its alphabetic script comprises 22 letters that serve both consonantal and vocalic functions. U+05D7 is an integral part of this script, enabling accurate representation of texts in the digital realm. Furthermore, the Hebrew language is written from right to left, which distinguishes it from other alphabetic scripts like the Latin or Greek alphabet.
