Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ס has the Unicode code point U+05E1. 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+05E1 to binary:
00000101 11100001. 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
U+05E1 is the Unicode code point for HEBREW LETTER SAMEKH, a character commonly used in digital text representation of the Hebrew language. Samekh, also transliterated as "s", is one of the 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet and represents a consonantal sound. It plays a crucial role in various aspects of linguistic and cultural contexts, including biblical texts, modern literature, and traditional religious works such as the Torah and Talmud. In typography, Samekh is often used in digital fonts to maintain the aesthetic integrity and legibility of Hebrew text.
