Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ֲ has the Unicode code point U+05B2. 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+05B2 to binary:
00000101 10110010. 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+05B2 (HEBREW POINT HATAF PATAH) is a crucial character in the Hebrew script, serving as a diacritical mark that distinguishes the pronunciation of certain letters in the language. In digital text, it is commonly used in conjunction with Hebrew letters to modify their sounds. The Hataf Patakh, represented by a small dot below the letter, indicates a guttural "h" sound when placed under the letter "heh," creating a distinct phonetic distinction from other similar-looking letters in the alphabet. This character plays a vital role in maintaining the linguistic and cultural accuracy of written Hebrew, which has been spoken and written for over 3,000 years. As one of 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet, U+05B2 contributes to the richness and complexity of the language that is used by millions of people worldwide.
