Description

U+1651, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER SEE, is a character within the Unicode standard that plays a significant role in digital text representation, particularly within the context of the Canadian Syllabics script. This character serves as a carrier for the visual indication of syllables within this unique writing system, which is predominantly used by Indigenous peoples across Canada. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER SEE does not represent any specific meaning or sound on its own; instead, it provides a base for the combination of other characters in order to form complete syllables within the script. This character is crucial for maintaining accuracy and integrity in digital texts written using Canadian Syllabics, as it helps to ensure proper representation and readability of the language. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard demonstrates a commitment to preserving and promoting linguistic diversity across the world.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5713 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+1651. 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+1651 to binary: 00010110 01010001. 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 10011001 10010001
