Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ׁ has the Unicode code point U+05C1. 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+05C1 to binary:
00000101 11000001. 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+05C1, known as HEBREW POINT SHIN DOT, is a crucial component in the Hebrew script, serving as a diacritical mark placed above certain letters to modify their pronunciation or meaning. In digital text, it typically appears in conjunction with the Hebrew letter "ש" (shin), creating a new character that is distinct from both its standalone components. This precise differentiation is vital for accurate text rendering and translation, especially in the context of modern technology where digital representations of languages must be precise to avoid misinterpretation. The HEBREW POINT SHIN DOT, like other diacritical marks in Hebrew, has a rich cultural history, originating from the traditional handwritten script and carrying significance for readers versed in understanding these nuanced distinctions.
