Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ק has the Unicode code point U+05E7. 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+05E7 to binary:
00000101 11100111. 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 10100111

Description
The character U+05E7 represents the Hebrew letter "Qof" in Unicode, a widely used standard for encoding characters across various languages and scripts. In digital text, this letter is typically utilized to transcribe the Hebrew language, primarily spoken in Israel but also in Jewish communities around the world. As one of 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet, Qof holds great significance due to its historical and cultural implications. The Hebrew script is a phonetic abjad, with each letter representing both a consonant sound and a numerical value. This characteristic makes Qof an integral part of both written and spoken communication in the Hebrew language. Furthermore, Qof is employed in various digital platforms such as websites, software applications, and mobile devices that support the display and input of Hebrew text, thereby facilitating its accurate representation and preservation of cultural heritage.
