Description

The Unicode character U+13D2 is known as CHEROKEE LETTER SV. It holds a significant position in the Cherokee language, which is the most widely spoken Native American language in North America. Typically used in digital text for communication and documentation purposes within the Cherokee-speaking community, this character contributes to the richness of the Cherokee script. The Cherokee syllabary, developed by Sequoyah between 1809 and 1821, comprises 86 unique symbols, including U+13D2, each representing a different phoneme. This script enabled written communication in the Cherokee language for the first time and played a pivotal role in promoting literacy and education within the community. The CHEROKEE LETTER SV is not just a symbol but an essential component of the linguistic heritage of the Cherokee people, representing a key step towards cultural preservation and identity assertion.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5074 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+13D2. 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+13D2 to binary: 00010011 11010010. 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 10010010
