Description

U+13BD, also known as CHEROKEE LETTER MU, is a character from the Cherokee script in Unicode. This character serves an essential role in digital text representation for the Cherokee language, one of the indigenous languages spoken by the Cherokee people native to North America. The Cherokee language, which belongs to the Iroquoian family, has a unique syllabary that consists of 86 distinct characters. CHEROKEE LETTER MU specifically represents a consonant in this syllabary and forms part of the linguistic heritage of the Cherokee people. This character, along with others in the Cherokee script, enables accurate representation of text in the digital world while preserving the cultural and linguistic context of the Cherokee language.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5053 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+13BD. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format: 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
    Where the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+13BD to binary: 00010011 10111101. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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:
    11100001 10001110 10111101
