Description

U+1634, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER TLHU, is a character from the Unicode standard that plays a significant role in digital text representation. This character serves as a carrier for the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which consists of 70 characters used in various Indigenous languages across Canada. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER TLHU is essential for encoding and displaying these linguistic elements accurately in digital platforms. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script was developed by missionaries to represent the phonetic structure of the Algonquian language family, which includes languages such as Ojibwe, Cree, and Inuktitut. Today, these characters continue to be vital for preserving Indigenous linguistic heritage and cultural identity in Canada.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5684 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+1634. 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+1634 to binary: 00010110 00110100. 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 10110100
