Description

U+1652 is the Unicode character code for "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER SI". It is primarily used in digital text as a part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, a writing system developed by missionaries and based on the 24-letter syllabary invented by Oblate Father Jean-Baptiste Thiéry in 1840. This character serves as a carrier unit for these syllabics, enabling them to be used in digital text processing and display systems. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics are widely used among Indigenous peoples across Canada, particularly in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and some parts of Quebec and Ontario. U+1652 plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting these linguistic traditions by facilitating the encoding and representation of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics within digital environments.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5714 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+1652. 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+1652 to binary: 00010110 01010010. 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 10010010
