Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ׂ has the Unicode code point U+05C2. 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+05C2 to binary:
00000101 11000010. 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+05C2, known as HEBREW POINT SIN DOT, is a crucial element in the Hebrew language. In digital text, it serves as a diacritical mark that modifies the pronunciation of the preceding letter when placed above it. This particular point is used specifically with the letter "Sin" (ס), and changes its sound to more closely resemble the English 'sh' sound. The HEBREW POINT SIN DOT holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance as it helps maintain the accuracy of pronunciation in Hebrew text and contributes to the richness and expressiveness of this ancient Semitic language.
