Description

The Unicode character U+163D, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER TLEE, serves a crucial role in digital text by providing a foundation for the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. This script is primarily used to represent the Indigenous languages of Canada, including Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other linguistic groups. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER TLEE acts as a carrier for the following characters: CANADIAN SYLLABICS TONE 1 (U+163E), CANADIAN SYLLABICS TONE 2 (U+1640), and CANADIAN SYLLABICS TONE 3 (U+1641). This character ensures accurate representation of the languages, which are deeply rooted in Canadian culture and history. In a linguistic context, the TLEE character helps preserve Indigenous heritage and facilitates communication among Canadian Aboriginal communities, promoting cultural preservation and language revitalization efforts. From a technical standpoint, the CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER TLEE adheres to Unicode standards, enabling seamless digital text exchange across various platforms and devices.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5693 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+163D. 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+163D to binary: 00010110 00111101. 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 10111101
