Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character נ has the Unicode code point U+05E0. 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+05E0 to binary:
00000101 11100000. 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
The Unicode character U+05E0 is known as the "HEBREW LETTER NUN". This character holds significant importance in digital text, particularly for languages like Hebrew, Yiddish, and Samaritan where it is extensively used. In Hebrew script, the HEBREW LETTER NUN holds a central position as one of the 22 letters, and it represents an open syllable with no vowel sound. It's also essential in Yiddish for its phonetic representation and in Samaritan for religious texts. The HEBREW LETTER NUN is part of the Hebrew block which was added to Unicode version 1.0 in October 1991. In typographical terms, this character follows the traditional aesthetic rules of Hebrew script, adding its unique touch to any text it is used in. Furthermore, U+05E0 has been instrumental in preserving and promoting these languages globally, enhancing digital text interaction and representation. Despite being a small part of a complex system, the role of HEBREW LETTER NUN cannot be underestimated in the context of Hebrew, Yiddish, or Samaritan linguistics, culture, and their digital interactions.
