Description

The Unicode character U+13CC represents the Cherokee letter "Sa" (CHEROKEE LETTER SA), which is an essential component of the Cherokee script. In digital text, it serves as a unique identifier for this particular phoneme in the Cherokee language, enabling accurate representation and encoding of the written form of this Native American language. The Cherokee language, spoken primarily by the Cherokee people of North America, has a distinct writing system that utilizes its own set of characters separate from the Latin script. U+13CC plays a vital role in preserving the linguistic heritage and cultural identity of the Cherokee people by ensuring accurate digital representation of their language. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+13CC promotes global interoperability of text by providing a standardized method for encoding, storing, and transmitting text data from diverse languages and scripts in digital communication and computing environments.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5068 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+13CC. 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+13CC to binary: 00010011 11001100. 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 10001111 10001100
