Description

The Unicode character U+13E5, known as CHEROKEE LETTER TSI, is an essential glyph in the Cherokee script. It represents the consonant sound /t͡ɕi/ in this Native American language spoken primarily by the Cherokee people of North America. In digital text, U+13E5 enables accurate representation and communication of Cherokee language content, thereby preserving its linguistic heritage and facilitating cultural exchange. The character's inclusion in Unicode highlights the importance of supporting diverse scripts and languages for global information interchange. As part of the Cherokee script, which is written from left to right, U+13E5 contributes to the orthographic system that has been continuously evolving since its earliest written form in the 1800s.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5093 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+13E5. 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+13E5 to binary: 00010011 11100101. 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 10100101
