Description

The Unicode character U+15E9, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER PO, plays a crucial role in digital text by providing a structural function within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. This script is used primarily to represent the languages of Canada's Indigenous peoples, particularly the Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other similar languages. U+15E9 serves as a carrier character for syllabic groups in these languages, enabling accurate representation of the phonetic structure and providing essential support for preserving and promoting Indigenous linguistic heritage in digital communications and applications.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5609 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+15E9. 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+15E9 to binary: 00010101 11101001. 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 10010111 10101001
