Description

The Unicode character U+1614, also known as the "Canadian Syllabics Carrier Ju," is a crucial component of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script. This script, which has been in use for centuries by Indigenous peoples across Canada, is primarily employed for written communication within the Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other First Nations languages. The "Canadian Syllabics Carrier Ju" serves as a connector or "carrier" character that links individual syllabic symbols in written texts. By providing a stable base for subsequent syllables, this character ensures the proper spacing and alignment of glyphs within the script, thereby facilitating readability and comprehension. In addition to its role in digital text, the Canadian Syllabics Carrier Ju has cultural significance as it reflects the rich linguistic heritage and traditions of Indigenous communities in Canada.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5652 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+1614. 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+1614 to binary: 00010110 00010100. 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 10011000 10010100
