Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ׅ has the Unicode code point U+05C5. 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+05C5 to binary:
00000101 11000101. 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+05C5, known as the HEBREW MARK LOWER DOT, plays a crucial role in digital text formatting for Hebrew script. This typographical element is primarily used to differentiate between similar-looking Hebrew characters, serving a function similar to an apostrophe or a tilde in Latin scripts. It provides essential clarity when typing and reading Hebrew text, enabling readers to accurately interpret the intended meaning of a word or sentence. The HEBREW MARK LOWER DOT is most commonly employed in digital documents, websites, and software that use the Hebrew language, and its accurate application is crucial for maintaining the integrity of written communication in this linguistic context.
