Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ׯ has the Unicode code point U+05EF. 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+05EF to binary:
00000101 11101111. 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 10101111

Description
The Unicode character U+05EF represents the Hebrew letter "Yod" in its Triangle (or "Yud") shape, which is often used in digital text. In modern Hebrew script, this character serves as a numeral, signifying the number 10. Historically, it has been used to represent the biblical tetragrammaton YHWH, the name of God in Judaism. The Hebrew alphabet, from which "Yod Triangle" originates, has been used for over 3,000 years, making it one of the oldest writing systems still in use today. In typography, the character is an important component of both religious texts and everyday language in the Hebrew-speaking world. U+05EF plays a vital role in digital text processing, as its correct rendering ensures accurate representation of the intended meaning across various platforms and applications.
