Description

U+18E7, also known as the Canadian Syllabics TTHAA character, is a vital symbol within the Inuit syllabic writing system. This character plays an essential role in representing phonetic sounds in digital text for the Inuit language, specifically the Tthaa sound. The Inuit syllabics are a unique script that combines elements of both the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets, making it suitable for representing various Inuit languages spoken across Canada's Arctic region. As an essential part of the Canadian Syllabics block in Unicode, U+18E7 contributes to preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of the indigenous people of Canada by enabling accurate digital representation of their language.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 6375 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+18E7. 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+18E7 to binary: 00011000 11100111. 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 10100111
