Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ֵ has the Unicode code point U+05B5. 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+05B5 to binary:
00000101 10110101. 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:
11010110 10110101

Description
The character U+05B5 is a Hebrew typographical element known as HEBREW POINT TSERE. It plays an integral role in digital text, primarily within the Hebrew script. In this context, it serves as a diacritical mark that influences pronunciation and meaning in the language. The Tseres are among the three primary accent marks in Hebrew: Shva (no accent), Sheva Na, and Sheva Na-Chataf. Specifically, HEBREW POINT TSERE alters the pronunciation of a consonant in the Hebrew script. Its placement directly above or below a letter signifies a distinctive vocalization that changes its sound. Thus, this character is crucial for accurate text representation in digital platforms and applications involving the Hebrew language. Despite being an accent mark, it carries significant linguistic weight as it can transform the meaning of words in Hebrew.
