Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character פ has the Unicode code point U+05E4. 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+05E4 to binary:
00000101 11100100. 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+05E4 represents the Hebrew letter "PE" (פ), which plays a vital role in the modern Hebrew alphabet. In digital text, it is commonly used to transcribe and communicate words in the Hebrew language, one of the oldest languages still in use today. Hebrew script is written from right to left, which is crucial for accurate rendering in digital typography. The letter "PE" specifically denotes the voiceless bilabial fricative consonant sound, a significant phonetic characteristic in the Hebrew language. It has been an essential part of various religious texts, including the Tanakh and other liturgical works, owing to the profound cultural and linguistic context it carries. The accurate rendering of U+05E4 is vital for preserving the integrity of Hebrew text in digital formats and maintaining its rich linguistic history and significance in contemporary communication.
