Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ׃ has the Unicode code point U+05C3. 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+05C3 to binary:
00000101 11000011. 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:
11010111 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+05C3 represents the Hebrew Punctuation Sof Pasuq (Hebrew: סוף פסוק), which is an essential symbol in digital texts written in the Hebrew language. This punctuation mark plays a vital role in segmenting the text into verses, particularly in religious and liturgical contexts. It is commonly used in the presentation of traditional Jewish texts, such as the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) and the Talmud, where it denotes the end of a pasuq, or verse or line, in these works. The Hebrew Punctuation Sof Pasuq serves to maintain the original structure and flow of the text for religious and linguistic purposes while providing clear demarcation for readers.
