Description

The Unicode character U+18CE is known as the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS RWEE." This character plays a significant role in digital text by representing an individual symbol within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script, which is used to write various Cree and other Indigenous languages of Canada. The character helps facilitate communication and preserve cultural heritage among these communities. In typography, it is essential to maintain accurate representation and spacing when using Unicode characters like U+18CE in order to ensure proper readability and understanding for speakers of the languages that utilize these unique symbols.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6350 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+18CE. 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+18CE to binary: 00011000 11001110. 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 10100011 10001110
